Background

I’m a Registered Dietitian and Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach with 25 years of nutrition experience. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and began my career in clinical dietetics, working in oncology, bariatrics, weight management, and with clients managing multiple chronic conditions. I blend empathy and humor with an analytical, integrative approach—helping clients uncover root causes and find realistic, sustainable solutions. A natural caretaker at heart, I believe deeply in taking good care of the people in my care. Clients describe me as kind, patient, and easy to talk to. I love to laugh, think critically, and approach each challenge with curiosity and compassion.

I’m a HAES-aligned, non-diet dietitian who helps clients reconnect with their body’s natural wisdom and make peace with food. I believe food should bring nourishment and joy, and that meaningful change happens through self-compassion and curiosity. No food policing here—just honest conversations, laughter, and realistic steps toward feeling your best.

In my free time, I love to read, recite movie lines, enjoy great food, and cook for the people I love.
