Nutritionists and Dietitians near Irvine, CA

My philosophy is to treat each individual as a unique case, focusing on you as a whole entity, and addressing the root of the problem. I want to help you reach your wellness goals, not just focus on symptom management. If you’re tired of feeling like you’re doing everything “right” and hearing that your lab results are “normal”, but you still feel “off” and can’t pinpoint it, then it’s time to schedule your 15 min consultation to see how I can support you.

Whether you’re recovering from an eating disorder or trying to break the cycle of chronic dieting, I promote a food fluid, weight neutral framework. This means no longer classifying foods as good or bad or, viewing your body as the enemy. I encourage my clients to adopt an all foods fit philosophy, and explore utilizing one’s body as a vehicle for experience, rather than validation. I believe in empowering clients to make decisions that are informed, not fear based. If you are looking for a therapeutic dietitian, you are in the right place. I utilize several therapeutic modalities including IFS, Somatic work, RO-DBT, DBT and CBT.
