Each patient that comes in to see me has a story to tell. I listen and address the root causes that guides each person towards a path to health and well-being. We will create an individualized program that includes meal planning and recipes, along with a functional approach to feeling better and getting the results you want. If needed, we can test for food sensitivities using LEAP/MRT, hormones, micronutrient deficiencies, cardiometabolic, and stool testing for gut health. This holistic approach assesses someone's body as a whole to bring balance back into one's life.

We specialize in nutrition therapy for eating disorders, disordered eating, and chronic dieting.
We understand this might be an exciting and scary leap, so fostering a safe space to explore the intricacies of your relationship with food and body is a priority for me. We aim to promote flexible, individualized eating based on hunger and fullness cues, nutritional needs, and pleasure rather than devise strict meal plans focused on weight control.

In my professional career I have provided MNT (medical nutrition therapy) for children and adolescents, as well as MNT for adults, particularly gestational women with pregnancy induced conditions, as well as MNT for prediabetes, gestational diabetes and diabetes.
I became a registered dietitian in 2010 and most recently earned my CDCES (Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist) credential to support clients with prediabetes and diabetes. I have dedicated my professional career to helping people improve their relationship with food and manage their health conditions. I stay current with the latest research to better equip my clients with the knowledge and tools they need for personal success. With that said, it’s all about personalization and no one-size-fits-all approach. I do not believe in restrictive diets or eliminating foods you love, but discovering the joy of healthy eating.
