I am a plant-forward dietitian who loves to make healthy eating simple and satisfying. My counseling style is supportive, practical, and judgment-free. I know it can be difficult to make healthy choices while surrounded by convenience foods that are quick, affordable, and tasty - especially when healthy foods are associate higher costs, longer meal prep times, and a lack of flavor. That's why I take the time to truly listen and help you understand nutrition in a way that fits your life, culture, and health goals. My approach focuses on realistic changes, not perfection, so you can build habits that last.

Vegan Nutritionists and Dietitians
What is a vegan diet?
A vegan diet is one in which no animal products—such as meat, eggs, and dairy—are consumed. Instead, veganism is focused on the consumption of plant-based foods such as grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. People may follow a vegan diet for a variety of reasons, including environmental concerns, animal rights beliefs, and health-related reasons. In some cases, individuals may follow a specific variation of a vegan diet, such as a "raw" vegan diet or a keto vegan diet.
What are the health benefits of a vegan diet?
Research has shown that vegan diets offer numerous health benefits, including weight loss, lowered cholesterol levels, reduced blood pressure, and better blood sugar control. These benefits often come from eating fewer animal-based foods, which are high in saturated fats, and from the weight loss that many people experience on a vegan diet. Additionally, vegan diets are known for their anti-inflammatory effects, which support a healthy immune system. This can be particularly helpful for those with inflammatory conditions like arthritis. Vegan diets are also high in fiber, which improves digestive health and can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Are there risks to a vegan diet?
Without proper planning, a vegan diet can lead to potential nutrient deficiencies and reduced protein intake. Vegans are particularly at risk for anemia, or iron deficiency, and vitamin B12 deficiency, as these nutrients are most abundantly found in animal products. Additionally, individuals who previously relied on animal-based proteins for most of their protein intake may find it challenging to meet their daily protein needs after switching to a vegan diet. While many experts agree that a vegan diet can meet all nutritional needs, it often requires careful planning to do so; therefore, some vegans will utilize dietary supplements to ensure they are meeting their daily vitamin requirements and reducing their risk of nutrient deficiency.
Why should vegans see a dietitian?
Consulting a dietitian can be greatly beneficial for vegans to ensure they are consuming a balanced and complete diet. Dietitians can assist in developing personalized meal plans, especially if clients have specific goals related to their vegan diet, such as weight loss or blood sugar stabilization. For instance, they may recommend recipes or help plan nutritious vegan meals. Additionally, dietitians can guide clients in avoiding highly-processed vegan foods, such as chips and candy, which are often high in sugar and fat but lack essential nutrients. For clients less familiar with a vegan diet, dietitians can help ensure clients don't rely on such heavily-processed foods for their diet and instead recommend high-quality and nutritionally adequate alternatives.
