I focus on food, planning, implementation, and behavioral based goals.
You are the expert on you, but don't know where to start. The expanse of the internet often provides confusing, unprofessional, and potentially harmful information about nutrition, weight, and health. I am not focused on "perfect" nutrition. Does it even exist? Let's look at the health and weight messages that influence you and find out what's relevant to YOU. Person versus population. We will have an honest conversation about what you need to focus on and how to make it happen. People expect a dietitian to judge them - but most people leave my office with hope, feeling like they are supported in making incremental change.

I use a clinical, collaborative approach that blends gentle nutrition with insight into the emotional and behavioral roots of eating.
If you feel stuck in a cycle of food rules, guilt, or stress about what to eat, you’re not alone. My clients often come to me overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice and exhausted by the pressure to eat perfectly or lose weight “for health.” Underneath that pressure is often anxiety, perfectionism, and a desire for peace. You may want to eat intuitively, feel more connected to your body, or finally enjoy food again—but don’t know where to start. You’re looking for clarity, flexibility, and a way of eating that supports your mental and physical well-being.

My ideal patient is someone who wants to learn about clean eating and healthy ingredients to put into AND onto their body and how just one ingredient can promote health or disease. For example, spinach or chicken may be toxic to my patient but healthy to someone else. Through customized nutrition treatment plans, genetic testing, application of Chinese medicine (when clinically appropriate), and meal planning my patients learn how to eat compatible, real foods for their body to eliminate the source of symptoms and health issues.

Behavior Modification Nutritionists and Dietitians
What is behavioral modification?
Behavioral modification in diet and nutrition involves using targeted strategies to change food, weight, and exercise behaviors, rather than relying on invasive options like surgery or medications for weight loss. This approach recognizes that behaviors leading to conditions such as obesity are often influenced by one's environment. Therefore, a key component of behavioral modification is creating an environment that supports weight management goals. For example, planning meals for the week and making a grocery list of healthy ingredients can help set oneself up for success. This reduces the temptation to rely on fast food or quick, less healthy options, ensuring healthier choices are more accessible and convenient.
Who is behavioral modification for?
Behavioral modification is an accessible and affordable approach to weight management and is thus a great option for many individuals looking to make lifestyle changes. Because behavioral modification is less invasive than other weight loss options, it is often the first line of treatment for individuals who are overweight or at risk of becoming overweight. If behavioral modifications alone are not sufficient to help achieve weight loss goals, then additional strategies, such as medication, may be pursued.
How long does it take to see results from behavior modification?
The length of time it takes to see results from behavior modification can vary significantly depending on the type and success of the behavior modifications made. Experts estimate that it takes about 2 months for behaviors to become habitual or automatic, so weight loss results from behavior modifications often take time and prolonged commitment to ensure results. While a behavioral change such as a drastic reduction in calorie consumption may promote weight loss within weeks instead of months, if an individual cannot sustain the dietary changes, then they will often not obtain lasting lifestyle changes. Therefore, many nutrition experts recommend that individuals start slowly with behavior modifications in order to ensure that the changes that they are making are sustainable, even if this means that it will take longer to see results in weight reduction.
Can a dietitian help with behavior modification for weight loss?
Dietitians can be a great resource for clients pursuing behavioral modifications for weight loss, as they help individuals stay accountable to their goals. Accountability is a key component of behavioral modification, often involving tracking food intake or exercise routines. Dietitians can review these journals, suggest changes, and offer strategies to help clients adhere to their behavioral modifications. Dietitians can also be particularly helpful to clients who have struggled to make successful changes on their own. The added accountability of working with a dietitian can be a valuable resource before considering more invasive weight loss options, such as surgery or medication.
