Not only do I have over 18 years of nutritional counseling experience, but I have over 20 years as an avid practitioner of yoga. The practice of yoga has truly been life-changing for me, and I integrate my learnings from the mat to my practice off the mat as much as possible - living in the present moment and having gratitude for my life and purpose on this planet. I have done many different things throughout my career, and all my experiences have led me to where I feel I can truly thrive and help others - the most rewarding experience of all!

Having a healthy lifestyle can bring you freedom to make your own choices. I am here to help you find a balanced nutritious diet that will make you feel great and at the same time bring you joy while eating your food. We will work with your preferences and possibilities, so you’ll be in control of your elections. You will determine the pace of your progress, and I will guide you the steps to reach your goals. Your goals are my goals!

I was inspired to become a dietitian because I saw food as a challenge for many people and I wanted to help others come up with solutions to daily struggles. During the pandemic, food became really tough to navigate for me between schedule changes and different routines, and I was able to find easy ways to stay on track during a difficult time rather than giving up. I look forward to the opportunity to help others do this as well.

A love for cooking and for talking to people about health brought me to a career as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). With over a decade of experience, I value helping individuals build a healthier, more positive relationship with food that aligns with their wellness goals. My academic foundation and work in healthcare have deepened my understanding of how nutritional needs evolve across life stages and in response to acute and chronic health conditions. I have provided personalized nutrition counseling in both inpatient and outpatient settings, offering nutrition interventions with the goal of enhancing quality of life. I hold the credential of Board Certified Specialist in Gerontological Nutrition (CSG), to support adults facing complex health challenges as they age. My expertise in medical nutrition therapy spans a wide range of conditions, including cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, diabetes, liver disease, digestive disorders, food intolerances, dysphagia, wound healing, nutrient deficiencies, and malnutrition. I take pride in working with adults of all ages and backgrounds, tailoring care to meet their unique nutritional needs and health concerns.

I know the life of an active individual is busy, so I believe in working with my clients to build a better lifestyle that is convenient for their schedule, budget and food preferences. I never impose my own morals, judgment or practices of other clients in my counseling and am committed to individualized care. Although I've worked with professional athletes, I believe everyone looking to gain muscle, lose fat or optimize their athletic performance deserves access to elite-level sports nutrition coaching. Let’s take the journey together through gradual changes and warm support to build a stronger, healthier you that will endure long after we finish meeting.
