My specialty is trauma informed, functional nutrition for mental health, digestion, and hormones.
My ideal client has done everything right, followed plans, taken supplements, read the books, but still feels anxious, exhausted, or disconnected from their body. They often struggle with digestion, hormones, or stress related symptoms and want to understand why. They are ready for a compassionate, science based approach that honors both body and mind. Together, we restore a sense of safety first so energy, digestion, and calm can follow naturally.

I want to start by saying that working on your health and wellness takes time. Society has programmed us into thinking that things should happen quickly. This way of thinking has put a lot of pressure on us and then we feel bad about ourselves when it doesn’t happen that way. Working on our health and wellness is a lifelong journey. I use Clinical Nutrition to support the whole body including (but not limited to) digestion, fatigue, inflammation, and mental health. I also help people develop a better relationship with food.

Ever since I was a child, I have been passionate about cooking. Much of my passion probably has to do with growing up with a mom who is a professional chef. Now, I enjoy teaching others to plan and prepare healthy, home-cooked meals. Planning meals for fertility, prenatal nutrition, women's health, hormones, diabetes, PCOS, kidney disease and heart health are my specialties. In addition to individual counseling, I lead grocery store tours and cooking classes and diabetes talks. My personal and professional background provides the ideal support you need to make changes, and offers realistic solutions to the challenges of daily life.

Do you have an unhealthy relationship with food? Do you get stressed thinking about what to eat? Have you tried different ways of eating to help you feel better and nothing seems to work? Like you, I struggled. I have ADHD, Thyroid Disease, and had disordered eating patterns for many years. I help people identify the root cause of their illness and incorporate nutritional changes. I know what it's like to have a negative body image and be exhausted from thinking about what I could and couldn't eat. Food should bring joy and satisfaction, not stress.

You might feel like you’ve tried every diet, every plan, every reset, but still feel stuck. Maybe you’re constantly thinking about food, swinging between feeling in control and overwhelmed. You’re tired of the guilt, the spirals, and the all-or-nothing mindset. My ideal clients are often high-achieving women struggling with restrictive eating, emotional eating, binge eating and/or body image concerns. Many come to my practice feeling exhausted by food rules and frustrated that nothing seems to “work” long term. Others feel disconnected from their hunger, fullness, and ability to trust themselves around food.
