Background

👩‍⚕️ About Me

With over 10 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian—and more than 20 years as a certified personal trainer—I bring both science and real-world strategies to help you reach your goals. I became a dietitian to cut through the noise, give you the truth about nutrition, and help you understand how your body works. My mission is to empower you with knowledge and practical tools so you can feel in control of your health, not confused by the latest trend.

✨ What to Expect in Our Sessions

You can expect an individualized plan, not only from a nutrition perspective but also tailored to how you learn best. Everyone absorbs information differently—I’ll make sure to explain concepts in a way that clicks for you. From our very first session, you’ll walk away with tangible action steps to start moving toward your goals immediately.

🌿 Focus Areas

I specialize in helping clients with:

Weight management (loss, gain, stabilization, or post-bariatric care)

Diabetes & prediabetes (including Type 2, gestational, GLP-1/weight loss medications)

Women’s health (PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, menopause, pre/postnatal nutrition, hormonal balance)

Chronic conditions (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver disease, heart health)

Food allergies & ARFID

Emotional eating & healthy aging

Sports & performance nutrition

General health & preventative care

💃 A Bit About Me

Outside of sessions, you’ll find me reading nutrition research for fun, traveling, dancing, or spending time with my family.

💡 My Drive

I became an RD to educate and empower people with facts—not fads. I’m passionate about teaching the science of how nutrition truly works, so you can make decisions confidently and sustainably for your health.

My approach is non-restrictive and personalized—not a “diet,” but a lifestyle.
