Hello! I'm a registered dietitian, passionate about helping others feel and be their best. I have over 10 years of experience in nutrition education and weight management. My goal as a dietitian is to help you find the best nutrition plan for your body that you can do every day for the rest of your life. I don’t believe in a one size fits all approach and instead focus on your individual needs for your lifestyle, body, and goals. I value the importance of a healthy relationship with food just as much as the food itself and how it makes you feel. I believe in meeting you where you are at, to help you get to where you want to be.

Although I am a “dietitian,” I disagree with “dieting,” especially for weight loss. It leaves us feeling deprived which always backfires in the long run. When we meet, I ask a lot of questions about your health history, medications, food and lifestyle habits, blood work and more. This helps me to help you decide which areas you want to focus on to start. In follow-up sessions we build on this. We will work together to develop a realistic food and lifestyle plan designed for you!

No, you don't need drugs to improve your blood sugar, lose weight, or deal with PCOS. Yes, medications might seem convenient; however, this road goes nowhere. With time, your drug quantity will increase because these drugs can’t treat the causes of your problems. Based on the latest research, effective treatment of diabetes and PCOS can be achieved by working with gut microbiome. I use gut microbiome in my practice not only to lower insulin resistance and lower blood glucose but also for weight loss, getting regular periods, and improving the ability to conceive for girls with PCOS.
