Background

As a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator, I’m passionate about helping clients break free from restrictive diets and build sustainable, enjoyable eating habits that support their health goals. Whether you're managing diabetes, working towards weight loss, or just trying to feel better in your body, I take a realistic and flexible approach that meets you where you are. My goal is to make nutrition feel practical and empowering—not overwhelming.

I specialize in weight management, blood sugar control, and mindful eating, helping clients develop confidence in their food choices without guilt or confusion. With years of experience in both clinical and coaching settings, I provide evidence-based guidance while also considering the real-life challenges that come with busy schedules, social events, and family life. You won’t find rigid meal plans here—just personalized strategies that fit your lifestyle.

I earned my degree in nutrition and dietetics and have spent my career helping people simplify food, improve their health, and build more positive lifelong habits. My work is driven by a deep belief that food should fuel both the body and soul. I know firsthand how easy it is to get caught up in extremes, which is why I focus on balance, consistency, and progress over perfection.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, experimenting with new recipes, and getting outside whenever I can. I also enjoy a good book, a strong cup of coffee, and making time for movement that feels good—whether that’s a long walk, a Peloton ride, or a strength workout.

If you’re ready to take a practical, no-nonsense approach to your health while still enjoying your favorite foods, I’d love to support you on your journey!
