About

I am a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist with over 10 years of counseling experience. I have recently completed my PhD in Health Promotion, exploring the role of tailoring and preference in improving health behaviors in college women. I am certified in Childhood & Adolescent Weight Management, with significant experience working with young adults. I specialize in working with clients with weight concerns, disordered eating, diabetes, and heart disease, behavioral health, college nutrition, and those looking to remove the power food may have over them and begin to heal that relationship.

My coaching style

I believe that food and our diets should never come in the way of us enjoying our lives. Helping clients to let go of that power society has deemed food in our lives is something I strive for. I understand the importance of tailoring and the role preference has in what we choose to eat and that there is never a one size fits all approach, customization is key! While working together, expect me to listen and validate your concerns, fears, doubts, insecurities. I will always meet you where you are and help you choose the best course of action.

Food is here to fuel us and not to rule us. No matter what your goal is, having a healthy foundation and relationship with food is key.

Publications

Many of my publications are research focused throughout my career. I have presented at 6 international conferences in the realm of preference, tailored nutrition, and health promotion.
