Life can be really hard sometimes, and cultivating a positive relationship with food and your body can feel impossible. I specialize in mental health nutrition, disordered eating, binge eating, and eating disorders and can help you find nourishment and peace with food. I offer a supportive, weight-inclusive, non-judgmental space to share, learn, and discover where you can make positive change in your life.

My clients are people who would like to develop a better relationship with food. They may have a history of dieting or may just be confused and overwhelmed by what food to eat. Many of my clients have digestive issues, autoimmune diseases, mental health struggles, or markers of poor health and often come to me tired, overwhelmed and frustrated by the excess of contradictory nutrition information they see online and in the world at large. They would like a simple approach to nutrition and are willing to do the work of getting to the root cause of their issues.

No, you don't need drugs to improve your blood sugar, lose weight, or deal with PCOS. Yes, medications might seem convenient; however, this road goes nowhere. With time, your drug quantity will increase because these drugs can’t treat the causes of your problems. Based on the latest research, effective treatment of diabetes and PCOS can be achieved by working with gut microbiome. I use gut microbiome in my practice not only to lower insulin resistance and lower blood glucose but also for weight loss, getting regular periods, and improving the ability to conceive for girls with PCOS.

As a dietitian with a functional/holistic background, I help my clients reach their goals by utilizing a whole food nutrition focus. I specialize in gut health conditions, weight management, diabetes, and optimizing your health. Let's work together to reach your health and wellness goals!
