Background

As my client, you can expect to receive personalized, evidence-based nutrition counseling that empowers you to achieve your health goals. My sessions are designed to provide you with practical strategies, compassionate support, and the tools you need to make lasting changes. Whether you're managing a chronic condition, enhancing athletic performance, or seeking general wellness, I am here to guide you every step of the way.

I specialize in chronic disease management, sports nutrition, medical nutrition support, and everyday nutrition. My approach is holistic, considering not just your dietary needs but also your lifestyle, preferences, and overall well-being. If you are looking for a dietitian who can offer tailored advice and support in these areas, I believe we would be a great fit.

I hold a degree in Nutrition and Dietitics with a Minor in applied fitness from the University of Pittsburgh and have 10+ years of experience in the field of nutrition. Throughout my career, I have received several awards, including a Certification in Nutrition Support, which recognize my commitment to excellence in dietetics and nutrition counseling.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy staying active and being social. Whether it's walking my wiener dog, gardening, or exploring new recipes in the kitchen, I find joy in activities that promote a balanced and healthy lifestyle. I am also creative, openminded and a little nerdy, which adds a personal touch to my approach and helps me connect with clients on a deeper level.

My passion for nutrition began with a desire to help others achieve their best health. I decided to become a Registered Dietitian because I believe in the transformative power of personalized nutrition. Building a private practice allows me to offer dedicated, one-on-one support to my clients, helping them navigate their  health journeys with confidence and clarity.
