Clients are often tired of rigid food rules and constant dieting. It can be overwhelming to be expected to change the way you eat overnight. Many times, your doctor gives limited information about what to eat and does not always have the time to go into detail about what the means for your day-to-day life.

Do you feel trapped in an endless cycle of dieting? After each new fad, do you find yourself back in the same place? Are you trying to prepare healthy meals, but struggle with time and organization? Or do you feel stuck with eating habits that don't serve you, but aren't sure how to change? You're certainly not alone. My main goal is to help you simplify eating, get rid of food "rules," and help you find joy, balance and health!

Food is a basic need that unites us as human beings.

If food feels difficult, confusing and/or causes you worry, let’s talk about it. I’m here to help make it a bit easier. I use a nonjudgmental, weight-neutral and gender inclusive approach, to help all people realize that food can and does mean so much more than just the nutrients on the plate, and empower them that having a normalized relationship with food is possible. I believe in utilizing an all foods fit mentality to neutralize from the notion of “good” or “bad” foods. I specialize in working with adults, but can provide referrals to other providers who work with children or adolescents, upon request.

As a Nutrition Therapist, my goal is to repair, rebuild and restore you back to health by teaching you how to renourish yourself mind, body and spirit, verses just teaching you how to eat.

I have a collaborative approach focusing on progress not perfection and believe in using the food plan that best fits you.

Are you stuck bingeing or overeating, thinking about food 24/7, feeling stuck with food guilt & shame, or struggle with negative body image thoughts? I'm a Registered Dietitian and before I discovered Intuitive Eating, I never thought a "normal" relationship with food was possible. I thought I would always be fighting cravings, bingeing, constantly thinking about food, and hating my body. Everywhere I turned for guidance, I was told I just needed to have more discipline and self control. I was trapped in this cycle for 10+ years and desperate for a way out. If this is YOU, I want you to know you are not alone and there is a way out.
