Background

As a registered dietitian, my mission is to make nutrition simple, approachable, and tailored to your lifestyle. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling confident and equipped with practical, easy-to-implement strategies that fit seamlessly into your daily routine. Whether it’s meal planning, optimizing performance, or navigating different life stages, I provide advice that’s sustainable and realistic—not restrictive or overwhelming.

I specialize in weight management sports nutrition, and chronic disease prevention. Health is never one-size-fits-all, so I take a personalized approach that considers your lifestyle, goals, and unique circumstances. Nutrition should work for you—not the other way around—and I’m here to help you find the balance between well-being and enjoyment of food.                                         

Beyond my practice, I find joy in exploring national parks, spending time outdoors, and strength training. Just like nutrition, movement is an essential part of overall health, and it should be personalized to fit your life. Staying active isn’t about following one specific method—it’s about discovering what feels good for you. Movement should enhance your life rather than feel like an obligation. The same applies to nutrition: the best approach is one that supports your individual needs while aligning with your preferences and goals.

My passion for nutrition is rooted in fitness and its role in daily function. Proper nourishment fuels movement, sustains energy, and supports recovery—essential for focus, performance, and overall well-being. But food is more than fuel; it’s a shared experience that brings people together, fostering connection through meals, traditions, and gatherings. That connection inspired me to build my practice, helping individuals create a balanced approach to nutrition that complements their fitness goals.
