I SOLVE ATHLETE PROBLEMS. I work with athletes of every age and ability, helping them improve performance through sport-specific nutrition. Doing an Ironman? Making weight for an MMA fight?

I developed a passion for helping individuals struggling with eating disorders when I started my career at a residential treatment center, where I worked for several years both as a dietitian.

I'm inviting all individuals who need a fresh start to their recovery. A fresh start looks like: needing to work through challenges that still remain from previous eating disorder treatments; an introduction to that body of yours who has been waiting to be "friended" by you; wanting to know how very different a nourished brain behaves and finally- meeting a hybrid dietitian who safely, wisely helps you eat, move and live in a body that's hungry for change.

I am a Registered Dietitian licensed to practice in Illinois.
My overall take away from my educational background was the way each individual requires a unique approach and no two people are the same- this is an understanding I am well versed in.
