Background
I've been a Registered Dietitian for 13 years with over 15 years of experience in health education and nutrition counseling. I originally started as a nursing major but soon realized my passion was in prevention. After taking a few nutrition classes, I was hooked --and the rest is history! I earned my Master's in Nutrition and Wellness from Benedictine University and am a Master Certified Health Education Specialist. I'm also a Licensed Dietitian in several states, allowing me to support a diverse range of clients.
My experiences include roles in nonprofit and community nutrition programs, managed care, outpatient hospitals, and telehealth. I love hearing my clients' stories, partnering with them, and exploring non-traditional, personalized approaches to healthy eating. There's certainly no "one size fits all" solution --health looks different for everyone.
As your Dietitian, I'm a thoughtful listener, a creative problem solver, and your biggest cheerleader, celebrating every victory along your unique health journey. You are still the driver, and I'll guide you in the passenger seat!

Approach
"My favorite part of being a Dietitian is meeting people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. I enjoy learning their stories, partnering with them, and exploring healthy eating through a non-diet, client-centered approach. I believe all foods can fit into a healthy pattern -- it's not just about what we eat but how and when. As your Dietitian, I'll work with you to make small, sustainable tweaks that improve your health without disrupting your routine."
