As a dietitian with 20 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals across all stages of life, from children to older adults, discover how nutrition can transform their health and well-being. My work spans both inpatient and outpatient settings, where I’ve supported people managing a wide range of medical conditions, lifestyle goals, and health concerns. These experiences have shaped my deep belief that nutrition is more than just what we eat, it's a key part of prevention, healing, and living fully.

I understand that life’s challenges are complex and unique to each individual. Busy schedules, limited nutrition resources, and complicated relationships with food are just some of the many factors that contribute to failed diet and lifestyle changes. I’m here to help you establish a healthy relationship with food and guide you through the connection between mind, body, and spirit to accomplish your goals. I firmly believe that wellness is a dynamic process of change and growth, “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease“.

You don’t feel like yourself anymore. Even though your labs are “normal.” You’re exhausted, foggy, bloated, sleeping poorly, or navigating perimenopause and hormone shifts that don’t make sense.
I work with midlife women who feel off in their bodies and want real clarity about what’s driving persistent fatigue, brain fog, digestive changes, and blood sugar instability. We take a foundations-first approach, focusing on digestion, metabolism, sleep, and hormone patterns before adding complexity.
Together, we build a structured, personalized plan that fits real life so you can feel steady, clear, and like yourself again.

Your diet and nutrition play a critical role from when you start trying to conceive and especially throughout pregnancy and postpartum. So why is there such little opportunity for nutrition counseling during this time?

You deserve to feel your best and I'd love to help you work towards that.
