With so much conflicting nutrition information out there, it can be hard to know what or how to eat. Are you tired of obsessing over food and your body? If you want a dietitian who will truly listen to you, you're in the right place. I help people reduce shame and guilt around eating, bring understanding and compassion to eating behaviors, and empower people to make choices around food and their bodies that feel aligned with their life values.

My treatment focuses on mobilization of the joints with muscle relaxation. Chiropractic is more effective when the muscles are addressed concurrently with adjustment. To better serve my patients I use myofascial release (a deep tissue therapy that breaks up muscle adhesions and scar tissue) with trigger point work and stretching. I also believe strongly in active care and give my patients exercises to do at home that complement the treatment in the office. A patient who does the active care will get better faster than those who rely on the treatment alone.

Since 2007, I have specialized in Neuro-Endocrinology - which is essentially addressing the way the brain is communicating out to the endocrine (hormone) glands. This involves balancing brain neurotransmitters for changes in mood (depression, anxiety, irritability), sleep, pain, cravings and digestion as well as any changes in thyroid, adrenal, blood sugar and female/male hormonal status. If you feel like you are stuck in survival mode, wired and tired, your sleep has suffered and your hormones feel off-balanced -you are a great fit for my practice!
