Have you ever caught yourself wondering why you eat the way you do?
Maybe you’ve asked, “Why do I overeat?” “Why do I restrict?” or even, “Why do I bounce between the two?” And maybe you’ve started to realize—it’s not just about the food, or your body. So what is it really about?
As a Nutrition Counselor, Registered Dietitian and Body Image Therapist, I get how layered and frustrating this can feel. I understand the guilt, the self-blame, and that overwhelming sense that food somehow has power over you.
You’re not alone—and you’re not broken.
You deserve to feel comfortable.

My philosophy centers on one simple, powerful truth: the gut is the foundation of health.
You’re not alone if you feel trapped by symptoms yet routine labs were normal. Or you’ve been given medication, acid blockers, antidepressants or vague advice like “try eating better” without anyone asking why you have symptoms in the first place.
I’ve been there too and I know a better way.
My approach focuses on finding the root cause of your health concerns through deeper testing to answer key questions:
What’s driving the inflammation?
Is the gut lining compromised?
Is the microbiome balanced?
Is the body absorbing nutrients properly?
