• Registered dietitians (RD's) are among the most highly qualified nutrition counselors available. They undergo rigorous training and education to earn their title. RD's are licensed healthcare professionals who can collaborate with doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, and social workers to offer comprehensive care.

    In contrast, the term "nutritionist" can vary widely in meaning, with lower educational requirements in many states. While some nutritionists may hold certifications, they generally have a narrower scope of practice and are unable to provide medical nutrition therapy, including meal planning, or make diagnoses, and often function more as health coaches.

  • My philosophy is grounded in meeting each client where they are on their journey to better health. I believe that lasting change comes from making small, sustainable adjustments.

    My approach follows the 80/20 rule, where 80% of the time, you are mindful of what and how much you consume, and 20% of the time, you allow yourself to enjoy the foods you love without guilt. Life is meant to be savored, and indulging occasionally is a part of a balanced approach to nutrition.

    Consistency is the linchpin of long-term success. My approach emphasizes the importance of steady, gradual progress rather than quick fixes. My goal is to empower you to make healthier choices while still relishing the pleasures of life.

  • I specialize in three key areas: weight loss, eating disorders, and peri/pre menopause. I’m dedicated to helping you achieve your goals in these specific areas by providing customized nutritional counseling and support.

  • At this time, I do not accept insurance. I believe in providing personalized, comprehensive care that often goes beyond what insurance plans can cover.

  • I do not typically work with children unless a child or teen has an eating disorder and is looking for support.

    That's why I work closely with every client to determine the best meeting schedule that aligns with their specific requirements and goals. Flexibility and personalized guidance are central to my approach.

  • I offer both options for your convenience. Whether you prefer the flexibility of virtual meetings or the comfort of in-person sessions, I'm here to accommodate your choice. Your well-being, your way.

  • My approach to nutritional counseling and meal planning is all about personalization. I understand that everyone's journey is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. That's why I customize plans for each client, ensuring that I meet you exactly where you are.

    Here's how it works: we start by delving deep into your individual journey. I take the time to determine the root causes of your unique challenges, review your background, and truly understand your goals. Armed with this knowledge, I then craft a tailored plan specifically for you.

  • I understand that everyone has unique dietary preferences and restrictions. My meal plans and counseling take these factors into account. Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or have specific food allergies, I'll work with you to create a plan that aligns with your preferences and dietary needs.

  • Physical activity is an essential component of a well-rounded weight loss plan. I'll discuss your current activity level and help you find ways to incorporate exercise that aligns with your lifestyle and preferences.

Weight Loss

Eating Disorders

  • For individuals with eating disorders (ED), our approach is tailored and supportive. I begin by carefully reviewing your health history and current health status. We’ll engage in thoughtful conversation about your current relationship with food, identifying what foods make you feel safe and which ones trigger anxiety.

    My strategy is to take gradual, manageable steps to avoid overwhelming you. Each plan is highly customized to ensure you feel safe and supported throughout your journey. It's important to note that I require clients to be under the care of a physician and psychiatrist. This collaborative approach allows us to provide the best possible support, working together to help you on your path to recovery.

  • Recovery from an eating disorder (ED) brings profound positive changes to various aspects of life. When properly addressed, it can lead to:

    • Improved Physical Health: Managing ED reduces the risk of associated health issues, such as cardiac problems and other medical complications.

    • Enhanced Mental Well-being: Recovery fosters better self-esteem, body image, and overall mental health.

    • Reconnection: Overcoming ED helps individuals rebuild social connections, ending the isolation often associated with the condition.

    • Preservation of Life: Most importantly, it can save lives, preventing the severe consequences that EDs can entail when left unmanaged.

  • Recovering from an eating disorder (ED) requires a set of vital tools and a steadfast commitment to the journey. Here are some key components:

    • Discipline: Overcoming an ED demands a significant level of discipline. It means adhering to a structured plan, even when faced with challenges.

    • Stepping Out of your Comfort Zone: Recovery often involves stepping into uncharted territory. It means embracing change and pushing boundaries, which can be uncomfortable but ultimately liberating.

    • Professional Guidance: Trusting a qualified professional is paramount. Our role is to provide unwavering support, knowledge, and a safe space to facilitate the healing process.

    These tools, along with dedication and perseverance, form the foundation of a successful recovery journey. It's important to remember that you're not alone in this process; we're here to walk beside you every step of the way.

    • Incoming freshmen who want to set themselves up for success

    • Students worried about gaining weight (and want to avoid it without obsessing)

    • Active students who want to maintain performance

  • We’ll focus on the four biggest college nutrition challenges: late-night eating, alcohol, caffeine, and dining hall navigation. With practical, realistic tips for:

    • Healthy eating without overwhelm or restriction

    • Mini-fridge staples

    • Late-night eating, alcohol + social life

    • Energy crashes, caffeine dependence, and irregular schedules

    • The real reason habits fall apart in new environments

  • Before we start, I'll ask about your campus dining options, your schedule, and your goals. From there, I build a plan tailored to your exact situation. This is not a generic college guide, it is a personalized nutrition plan.

  • That's exactly who this is designed for. We start from where you are. No judgment, no overwhelm, just simple tools to help you feel better and make smarter choices.
