Background

Working with me means gaining a partner who transforms complex nutrition science into practical knowledge you can use every day. During our sessions, you'll learn how to make sustainable food choices that support your health goals without feeling restricted or guilty. I provide personalized guidance that considers your unique lifestyle, preferences, and challenges, equipping you with tools to maintain healthy habits long-term.

My practice focuses primarily on weight management, diabetes care, and obesity treatment, though I'm passionate about general nutrition education for anyone seeking to improve their relationship with food. Having helped clients collectively lose over 1,000 pounds in a single year at a weight loss facility, I understand the nuances of sustainable weight management and the importance of individualized approaches.

As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with three years of diverse experience, I've worked across multiple specialties including clinical nutrition, oncology, cardiac care, bariatrics, GI disorders, and outpatient services. This broad background allows me to address various nutritional needs and medical conditions with confidence and expertise.

What sets my practice apart is my unique blend of functional, integrative, and holistic approaches. I believe in food as medicine, consider how all aspects of your life influence your eating habits, and combine evidence-based nutrition science with personalized lifestyle modifications. This comprehensive philosophy allows me to adapt my methods to your specific needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

When I'm not helping clients transform their relationship with food, you'll find me walking my dogs, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, or exploring different cultures through travel and cuisine. My love for cooking and baking gives me practical insight into making healthy eating both delicious and enjoyable.

I became a dietitian because I believe in the power of food to transform health and wellbeing. My mission is to help people rediscover the essential connection between what they eat and how they feel, empowering them to make confident food choices that enhance their quality of life and long-term health. I approach each client with empathy and understanding, recognizing that life's complexities influence our daily food choices. With me, you'll never face judgment—only support as you journey toward becoming a healthier version of yourself!
