Approach

"I take an individualized approach that considers the broader social, environmental, and cultural contexts of clients. I delve into the lived experiences that influence an individual's relationship with food. This keen insight allows me to create an environment conducive to achieving practical and lasting change. Furthermore, I am committed to providing evidenced-based recommendations and stay current on the latest research. Clients appreciate my empathetic, nonjudgmental, and honest nature."
