Many of my clients come to me for help with digestive health concerns, With my experience in nutrition education, I take the time to answer questions and explain the rationale behind my recommendations so you understand where they are stemming from. Although I provide a plan, my client is in the driver's seat. I provide you with various options that will lead you to optimal health.

My goal is to make it 100% easy for you to follow your specified dietary plan and lifestyle changes to meet your goal. I always review your food likes/dislikes, make necessary changes paying attention to your food likes. I believe that good nutrition is the one that is eaten, good diet plan/lifestyle change is the one that is simple and easy to follow for a long time. I use visuals and measures to bring points home and clear, you don't have to take notes, I do give handouts which you might never have to read because my points are always clear.

Do you or your loved one struggle with eating or feeding issues like an eating disorder, disordered eating, or picky eating? You deserve to enjoy eating or feeding without any food-related anxiety, stress, guilt, or shame. I help clients, from early childhood to adulthood, overcome feeding and eating challenges including picky eating, restricted/limited food intake (ARFID), disordered eating, and eating disorders (level 1 outpatient). I also see clients for food allergies, elimination diets, digestive health, and prenatal nutrition.

Why would someone want to work with me? What makes me different? I believe that each client is a person not what ails them at the time they are seeking help. Clients I treat as individuals and there is not one protocol or approach for each person. I usually see clients who have already tried mainstream medical care and are just not finding the relief they sought. They know there is more work to do however, they are possibly not being heard by their current healthcare providers or not at their optimal state of health that they know they can feel or once felt.

If you suffer from diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, arthritic pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, digestive disorders, thyroid disorders, other autoimmune disorders or would like to lose weight, having the right approach to your diet and health is essential to feeling better. As an integrative nutritionist, I combine the most updated scientific research with a natural/holistic approach in my practice to help you increase your quality of life by improving your energy level, weight, focus and reducing inflammation.
