As a registered dietitian, my goal is to help my clients develop a healthy and peaceful relationship with food.

I LOVE helping people live healthier. My style is highly comprehensive - looking at the many pieces that make up our nutritional health. I am skillful at helping people reach a healthier weight (especially those who have attempted other ways unsuccessfully). I am also passionate about topics like brain health, good mood foods, preteen/teen nutrition, ADHD/ADD, confidence and self- esteem, nutrient deficiencies, eating best for your DNA, food sensitivity and anti-inflammation recommendations (Leap MRT testing). I also have a significant clinical background so eating for healthy aging and disease prevention is also in my wheelhouse.
