Hello and welcome to my page. I am a registered dietitian with over 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults in a wide range of nutrition specialties. I am passionate about working collaboratively with my clients to create a personalized plan that will meet each client where they are. I enjoy working with all ages and stages of life, including children, adolescents and women in menopause.
I first became interested in nutrition after earning a bachelor's degree in speech pathology and working with children with various eating challenges. I then earned a second bachelor's and master's degree in nutrition and have enjoyed working in the field ever since. My areas of practice have included individual counseling with all ages and multiple specialties including disordered eating, eating disorders, appetite changes related to medication, and tube feeding.
I have lived all over the United States and currently live and practice and Columbus, OH. When not working, I enjoy cooking, reading (book recommendations welcome!), all things chocolate, and spending time with my husband and two children.
"As an RD with a deep passion for promoting a healthy relationship with food, I work with children, adolescents and adults who are navigating a wide range of challenges. I specialize in medical nutrition therapy, intuitive eating and the treatment of eating disorders. My approach is rooted in the belief that all foods can fit into a balanced, nourishing lifestyle, and is centered on a nonjudgmental philosophy that eating is not about perfection or restriction but about balance without guilt."
