Getting to Know Me and My Approach to Clinical Nutrition

As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with a Master of Dietetic Administration (MDA) degree, I am uniquely equipped to provide comprehensive, evidence-based medical nutrition therapy for a wide range of health conditions. My background combines rigorous scientific training in clinical nutrition with a strategic understanding of healthcare system efficiency and effective patient education. My journey into dietetics was specifically driven by a desire to impact chronic disease management and a commitment to preventive health through diet. This dual expertise allows me to not only develop precise, individualized nutrition interventions but also to ensure they are seamlessly integrated into your overall medical care plan, optimizing health outcomes and improving quality of life.

​

When we work together, my primary expectation is your active participation and commitment to your health management. Our sessions are designed to be a collaborative partnership where I bring the specialized knowledge of how nutrition impacts your specific condition(s), and you bring your unique experiences, challenges, and goals. I expect you to be open in discussing your symptoms, dietary patterns, and any barriers you face, as this detailed information is crucial for tailoring effective interventions. Your willingness to implement the recommended dietary and lifestyle modifications, and to provide feedback on their effectiveness, directly contributes to successful disease management and symptom alleviation. I am dedicated to providing a supportive, non-judgmental environment where we can openly discuss your health concerns and work together to achieve your clinical nutrition objectives.

​

What truly drives me in this profession is the profound impact that targeted medical nutrition therapy can have on disease progression, symptom control, and overall patient well-being. There's immense satisfaction in helping a diabetic patient achieve better glycemic control, or assisting an individual with kidney disease to preserve renal function, or managing complex GI disorders to improve daily comfort. My goal is to translate complex medical nutrition science into practical, actionable strategies that address the root causes of your symptoms and support your body's healing processes. I am deeply committed to equipping you with the precise dietary tools and knowledge needed to actively manage your condition, mitigate complications, and ultimately empower you to take a proactive role in your long-term health trajectory.
