Background
About Me
As a Registered Dietitian with a PhD and over a decade of experience, I specialize in weight management and geriatric nutrition, helping clients navigate the complexities of health and aging with compassion, evidence-based guidance, and sustainable strategies. Focus Areas
I work primarily with:
Adults navigating weight loss or maintenance through realistic, sustainable changes
Older adults and caregivers seeking nutrition strategies for healthy aging, chronic disease management, and preserving independence
Clients managing conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or metabolic syndrome, particularly in midlife and later years
If you're looking for a respectful, non-judgmental space to make meaningful changes to your health, we might be a great fit.

A Bit About Me
Outside of my practice, I’m a lifelong learner. I love cooking with my family (and testing new recipes on them!) and spending time outdoors.
Why I Do This Work
I became a dietitian because I believe nutrition is a powerful, yet often misunderstood, tool for lifelong health and well-being. I started my private practice to create a space where people feel heard, empowered, and equipped with the right tools—not fads or quick fixes—to thrive at every stage of life.
