I want to help YOU find your best self. I use a personalized approach to nutrition with an emphasis on sustainable lifestyle change. I believe food is meant to nourish your body, mind and soul. I specialize in diabetes and weight management (including type 2 diabetes remission). I coach you to find health and wellness AND peace with your body and food. I’m available for virtual or phone appointments. Let’s work together to find a lifestyle that’s easy, sustainable and full of your favorite foods. I love helping people find the most nutritious version of a favorite comfort food so that choosing the healthy option is easy!

Sometimes it can feel like you’re fluctuating between “good” days and “bad” days: one minute you’re organized and proud of your food choices, the next it seems everything’s falling apart. Worse, everyone has an opinion on what you should eat without knowing what’s going on in your life. You’re not alone! My mission is to provide judgment-free nutrition counseling and support, whether you want to manage a chronic disease or just have more energy. Changing isn’t easy but I'm here to listen to and support you; we’ll uncover your motivations, set realistic goals, and plan for setbacks. Here's to your future self!
