Background

I’m a registered dietitian with nearly a decade of experience in clinical nutrition and food safety. I hold a master’s in Nutritional Sciences and completed my undergraduate degree in nutrition with a focus on physiology and metabolism. My background includes nutrition research, but what I enjoy most is working one-on-one with clients to make food feel less confusing—and more empowering.

In our sessions, you can expect a thoughtful, collaborative approach. I actually listen. I’ll take time to understand your lifestyle, preferences, and goals so we can create a realistic plan tailored to you. I’ll hold you accountable, but with compassion—and help you focus on small, sustainable changes that add up to a healthier, more confident you. I use a “no-diet” approach and believe that all foods can fit.

My focus is always on the whole picture. That means giving holistic, evidence-based recommendations that help you build a strong foundation—not just for now, but for the long term. Whether you’re trying to feel better in your body, manage a health condition, or simply figure out what to eat without overthinking it, I’m here to guide and support you.

On a personal note, I live in sunny San Diego with my husband and two young kids who definitely keep me on my toes. I love staying active, heading to the beach, and carving out time for movement and good food—both of which I see as essential to wellness.

I became a dietitian because I wanted to cut through the noise and give people real, practical support around nutrition. Food shouldn’t be stressful—and I’m here to help you feel confident in your choices, every step of the way.

Together, we’ll create a plan that supports your goals—and your real life.

Approach

"I take a direct but holistic approach rooted in Health at Every Size. I get to know my clients—how they live, eat, and what matters to them—so we can make personalized, sustainable changes. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all plans or cutting out foods you love. Nutrition is personal, and I’m here to help you feel your best in a way that fits your real life."
