I believe in giving each patient my individual, full attention. Treatment sessions are generally 30 to 40 minutes, with a focus on restoring muscle and joint function and eliminating pain.
Treatments usually include gentle deep muscle work, manual manipulative therapy, Pilates based rehabilitative exercise, and other physical therapies.
I have great success in treating chronic myofascial pain (fibromyalgia), migraine headaches, numbness and tingling in the hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy), foot pain, and especially the chronic neck, shoulder and arm pain that comes from working at a computer. Of course, I treat sports and auto injuries as well.

Eating shouldn’t feel this hard—but if it does, you’re not alone. I’m a registered dietitian specializing in ARFID, emetophobia (fear of vomiting), OCD-related food fears, and neurodivergent eating challenges. Whether you’re avoiding food due to fear of choking or gagging, struggling with sensory aversions, or simply lacking interest in eating, I help make food feel safer and less stressful. I work with kids (ages 0+), adults, and families to build confidence around eating—without pressure or judgment.

The people I work with best tend to share one thing in common: they're ready for a smarter, more personal approach to their health. Many are managing chronic conditions and want nutrition to play a more active role in how they feel day to day. Some clients arrive feeling tired in more ways than one. There's the physical fatigue that lingers no matter how much rest they get, and then there's the mental fatigue of trying to follow nutrition advice that constantly contradicts itself. We start by listening, then we get specific. Each client receives a personalized plan shaped around their goals, preferences, and unique physiology.
