With over 13 years of experience in the dietetic field, I bring a deep and diverse background to my practice—one that blends clinical precision with culinary creativity. While I do support clients with weight management, my primary focus is helping individuals prevent the progression of chronic and metabolic diseases. I work closely with those navigating the early stages of conditions like diabetes, chronic kidney disease and end stage renal disease, heart disease, and genetically influenced health issues. My goal is to help clients move past fear and stigma, and toward informed, empowered choices that support long-term wellness, and I push the idea that culinary creativity and disease control can be combined to make your health needs met with excitement rather than fear or disappointment!
My credentials include a Dietetic Internship from North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC; a Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC; and a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition Sciences from the University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT. I’ve spent nearly nine years consulting in Renal/Dialysis medical nutrition therapy, and four years in gerontology-focused care—addressing everything from wound healing and cancer to enteral/parenteral nutrition, hypermetabolic states, cardiac and pulmonary diseases, and metabolic disorders. Before entering the clinical world, I honed my skills in numerous restaurants in CT, PA, and NC, so you'll be sure to have great ideas for your diet needs that won't bore you!
Outside of work, I’m a passionate traveler, lover of live music (hard rock & metal, classical & opera, folk & bluegrass, specifically!), and always ready to spend the whole weekend outdoors. I try to explore and taste it's riches with my lovely wife and business partner of 12 years—we’re always chasing the next great flavor or food adventure. I believe that food is one of the most powerful tools we have for connection, healing, and joy.
I became a dietitian because I saw how nutrition could be both powerful and misunderstood. I built my private practice to create a space where people feel safe, supported, and truly heard. My mission is to help you reconnect with your body, redefine health on your terms, and build habits that last, all while making sure you feel more comfortable that you don't lose out on flavor and comfort!
