Health Professionals in Richmond, VA

Did You Know? IBS is simply a name for symptoms but tells us NOTHING about what's causing them! For 15 years I was told there was nothing I could do about my debilitating GI symptoms– pain, cramps, bloating, all the other things no one wants to talk about. “Everything looks normal. You’re just going to have to live with it. Try managing your stress.” Sound familiar? If so, you’re in the right place. Because I get it! I’ve been there. I’m also now symptom free… why? Because IBS is B.S.! I got to the root cause and you can too!

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and an Integrative and Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner.

I am passionate about clinical dietetics and truly understand how impactful nutrition interventions can be on improving patient & client outcomes. My approach is different from person to person and believe that the time needed to help someone should not be pre determined. This is what attracted me to working as a consult dietitian with Nutrition Collaborative. A setting where I, and more importantly the client, dictate the process.
