I'd love to work with you if you're struggling with an eating disorder, feeling overwhelmed or out of control around food, or stuck in “analysis paralysis” about what to actually feed yourself to manage a health condition like diabetes or high cholesterol. Perhaps you’ve dieted on and off for years and you’re over it - you want to figure out how to nourish your body without counting and measuring your food and living by the number on the scale. You want anxieties about your body and food to take up less space in your brain so you can focus on what really matters to you.

Using acupuncture and herbs, I have successfully treated disorders ranging from headaches, allergies, and pain to and uterine fibroids. I have also treated patients with infertility at some of Atlanta's top fertility clinics.

I specialize in Irritable Bowel Syndrome and complex gut issues that haven't responded to standard approaches. I work with people who are still struggling after trying low-FODMAP or elimination diets and who want to understand why their body isn't responding to move beyond restrictive diets and feel better. As a Registered Dietitian with a Master's in Nutrition & Functional Medicine, I look beyond food choices to assess digestion, nutrient status, and the microbiome. This is how we find the root cause and build a plan for healing.

Many women are looking for natural solutions to managing menopause, aging, and their health. As a registered dietitian and certified menopause practitioner, I offer a wealth of perspective and solutions to support health at this stage of life. Unfortunately, for some, eating and thoughts about food make life more stressful, increase anxiety, and often result in feeling depressed because you can't do it "RIGHT." My clients are looking to stop the diet roller coaster, improve overall health, enhance athletic performance, and feel better about their eating with realistic and effective nutrition solutions.
