About Me
My approach as a dietitian is rooted in openness, respect, and collaboration. You are the expert on your own body and life, and I am here to support—not dictate—your nutrition journey. I practice person-centered care and use motivational interviewing to ensure our work in sessions reflects on your values, preferences, and lived experiences. Together, we will explore strategies that align with your nutritional needs and health goals, always with compassion for the challenges you’re facing. Progress isn’t always linear—sometimes it’s about celebrating small, meaningful steps forward. I recognize that changing lifestyle habits takes time and effort, and I firmly believe that nourishing eating habits should retain joy and satisfaction. I offer evidence-based, practical guidance that replaces diet culture, food fads, and misinformation. Everybody deserves a positive, maintainable approach to eating and feeling well.

Find your dietitian

Find the right nutritionist for you.

No matter where you are in your nutrition journey, our dietitians have the expertise to help.
Here are some of the many areas of nutrition our experts cover:

Weight Loss
If you're trying to lose weight and are having difficulties adhering to a diet, you can benefit from medical nutrition therapy. Your dietitian will help you develop an exercise and meal plan outlining what you need to do to lose weight steadily and safely. A dietitian will take the time to get to know you and your individual goals and needs, which will ensure that your weight-loss plan is tailored specifically for you.
Chronic Disease
Chronic diseases are those that last for three months or more and are the leading cause of death and disability in the United States. Heart disease, cancer, and strokes are just a few of the many chronic diseases that people suffer from. Dietitians can help people with these diseases by developing personalized eating plans tailored to their specific needs.
Sports & Athletics
Working with a sports nutritionist can help you optimize your eating habits, understand how to properly fuel your body, identify any potential problems with your diet, and make necessary adjustments to ensure you perform at your best. Our nutritionists can also offer valuable insight into how different foods can impact your energy levels, recovery, and overall health.
Prenatal & Postpartum
When you're expecting a baby or have recently welcomed a new little one into your family, working with a prenatal and postpartum nutritionist can significantly improve your overall health and wellness. From pre-pregnancy through the first few years of your child’s life, a nutritionist can offer guidance and support to help you make choices that nourish you and your growing family.
General Wellness
For those looking for ways to improve their overall health and well-being, a general wellness nutritionist may be an excellent option. A general wellness nutritionist can help you improve your diet, boost your energy levels, reduce stress, and enhance your quality of sleep, leading to substantial quality of life improvements over the course of your coaching experience.
GI & Gut Health
A well-functioning digestive system is critical for overall health, yet many people suffer from digestive issues that impact their quality of life. A gut health nutritionist can help you identify the root causes of your digestive issues or medical condition and develop a personalized plan to address them. They can also provide guidance and support for making dietary and lifestyle changes that can improve your gut health.
Pediatric
Proper nutrition is essential for a child's growth and development, and the right dietitian can tailor their services to a child's eating habits to ensure they get the nutrients they need. Our dietitians can help a child with special dietary needs, such as food allergies or intolerances, teach parents about nutrition and how to make healthy choices for their family, and work with a child to develop healthy eating habits to last a lifetime.
Much More!
No matter how ambitious or demanding your health and wellness goals are, Top Nutrition Coaching’s network has a registered dietitian who can help you achieve success!

Frequently asked questions

What makes an expert registered dietitian nutritionist?

An expert dietitian nutritionist will have an advanced degree, have completed a certain number of hours of supervised experience and required dietetics coursework, and have passed a board-certifying exam. All highly qualified nutritionists will have the letters “RD,” “RDN,” or “CNS” in their titles.

How much does the service cost?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the cost of working with a registered dietitian nutritionist will vary depending on the individual's qualifications, experience, and location. However, on average, dietitians charge between $50 and $100 per hour for their services.

What does the matching specialist help you with?

Most customers have certain criteria or prerequisites that they want the nutritionist to possess. Detailing what these criteria are will help a matching specialist connect you with the most compatible nutritionist for you.

What if I don’t like the recommendations a matching specialist provides?

If you don’t like the nutritionist that the matching specialist connects you with, be vocal about it. Speak up about the things that you like and don’t like about the current nutritionist you are working with. This information will allow the matching specialist to connect you with a more compatible nutritionist for you.

What’s the difference between a nutritionist and a registered dietitian?

Although the terms are often used interchangeably, registered dietitian nutritionists are the most educated and thoroughly-vetted nutrition experts available. Specifically, an RDN certification is the only nationally-held standard that a person can achieve.

Are registered dietitians covered by health insurance?

An increasing number of health insurance companies are providing coverage for nutrition counseling and therapy. Check with your provider or review your policy to see which services and providers are included in your network. This is the best way to receive affordable nutrition counseling.
Find your dietitian

What is a registered dietitian nutritionist?

A registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) is a food and nutrition expert. Every RDN has completed certain requirements and nutrition programs to earn their title. Every RDN has earned a bachelor’s degree with coursework approved by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND).


After receiving their degree, every RDN in training completes a certain number of hours of supervised expertise, typically at health care facilities, community agencies, residential care facilities, or food service corporations. Finally, an RDN must pass a national registration examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration.

Benefits of working with a  nutritionist for weight loss:

Regardless of why you are seeking an RDN, there are many ways that you will benefit from personalized nutrition coaching.

Work Through Obstacles

When it comes to health, everyone has their own unique set of challenges. When you are too close to the problem, it can be difficult identifying where you need help and what strategies you can utilize to reach your goals.
A nutritionist serves as an outside expert who can help you recognize what is helping you reach your goals and what isn’t. It’s normal to face setbacks and obstacles when you are working towards your goals. Oftentimes, all you need is some professional guidance and a tailor-made health plan.

Accountability

We all have days when meeting our goals and sticking to our action steps feels more challenging than others. Having someone else by your side to hold you accountable for your goals can be a great motivator.
For instance, if you have an upcoming session with a nutritionist in the books, you will feel more compelled to make smart, healthy decisions that you can later share with your RDN. An RDN will also constantly remind you of why you are working so hard to achieve your goals. Whenever you are drowning in exercise routines or careful meal planning, you will never lose sight of what you are working towards.

Emotional Support

Food is a very central aspect of everyone’s life, and it is something that many people have strong feelings about, whether they are happy, sad, or angry associations.
As you get into replacing old habits with new ones and transforming key aspects of your feelings, emotions are likely to arise. Whatever these emotions may be, it can be beneficial to talk about them with family members, friends, and a trusted healthcare professional. Sharing your challenges will allow your RDN to help you navigate these hurdles and keep you from falling back into bad habits.

What to look for in weight loss dietitian?

Here are some of the most important factors to consider in your dietitian search:

Before anything else, you want to ensure that the dietitian you work with is highly qualified and legitimate.While anyone can claim to be a ‘nutritionist’ or health influencer online, it's easy to recognize which healthcare professionals are registered dietitians and which ones are not. All you need to do is look at a dietitian's title. Dietitians can be identified by the letters "RD" (registered dietitian) or "RDN" (registered dietitian nutritionist) after their names.

Customer Service

Whether you are going through a medical emergency or have a health question that you need an answer to, your registered dietitian needs to be a strong communicator. As a vital member of your healthcare team, your RD should be able to respond to your phone calls, emails, and texts promptly. Beyond just accessibility, an empathetic disposition and supportive nature is also important . Good nutrition is a lifelong process that can have great benefits but it can also be a sensitive topic. Find someone who has great bedside manners.

Specialty

While some registered dietitians provide general nutritional advice, many have a specific area of expertise. For instance, some registered dietitians specialize in helping those with chronic illnesses, such as diabetes or renal failure, while others specialize in prenatal and postpartum nutrition. If you are seeking a registered dietitian to help you lose weight, make sure to find a registered dietitian who either specializes in weight management or perhaps has experience with disordered eating. There is a specialist for your specific needs.

Working Style

Working with a dietitian is a collaborative experience. Therefore, finding an RD that you are compatible with is essential. While some registered dietitians may have a more strict and "tough love" approach, others will be more gentle and nurturing during your sessions. There is no one right approach, but before hiring a dietitian, ensure that your working styles and personalities are well suited to each other.
