Dietitians provide individualized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations based on your health and your goals, and help you implement healthy habits. They are experts on food, nutrition, and human nutrition science, thus can help you better understand your body’s biology and how you respond to food and eating habits.

I personally work with you to find changes that don’t feel overwhelming – habits that fit into your lifestyle and feel doable long term. You want to feel healthy and well for LIFE, not just the next 30 days. By working with me, you will know where to start and what changes will make the most impact, despite a busy lifestyle.

If you’ve tried making changes on your own and have been unsuccessful, feel confused about where to start, or overwhelmed by all the nutrition advice and diets out there, you would benefit from working with a dietitian. A dietitian can help you find a starting point and provide you with information and recommendations that pertain to you, eliminating the rest of the noise.

If you’re dealing with chronic health issues related to digestion, blood sugar, heart disease, hormone imbalance, autoimmunity, and more, a dietitian can recommend vitamins, supplements, and/or guide you through elimination diets safely as needed.

A dietitian can also help you learn to eat more mindfully and address emotional eating tendencies that may be hindering your success.

I can help you if you are…

A busy person who wants to be healthy and have energy to do things with and for your family, but feel overwhelmed about making changes and getting nutritious meals on the table.

Frustrated with your history of chronic dieting/yo-yo dieting and want to restore your metabolism and establish sustainable eating habits.

Dedicated and want to lose weight in a safe and effective way (no crash diets here!).

Struggling with blood sugar imbalances, pre-diabetes, or diabetes and want to learn how to eat to keep it steady (not too high or too low), and reap the benefits (more energy, fewer mood changes, easier time getting pregnant, healthy heart and nerves, etc.).

A woman who wants to become pregnant, is pregnant, or postpartum and wants to set your body up to be healthy, well-nourished, and energized.

Struggling with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, digestive issues (like IBS, bloating, gas, etc.), acne or other skin conditions, and/or autoimmune disease and want to feel well again and take your life back.

These may all be different people, but they could be the same person! I look at the body as a whole and take a root cause approach with nutrition recommendations. Oftentimes, multiple issues are related and can be addressed with the same healthy behavior changes.

Nope! I help you find balance with fun foods and more nutritious foods, but I do this in a way that works for you and what changes you’re willing to make. The goal is to keep a highly varied diet, reduce restriction, and make healthy eating enjoyable. The only exception is if an elimination diet is medically recommended in order to aid a chronic health issue. But, even then, I give my patients choice and flexibility with this, and the goal is always to introduce as many foods back in.

No! Overly strict diets are not sustainable long term. They often end up backfiring and cause people to regain lost weight, worsen their metabolism, and create a lot of fear around food.

As a dietitian with a type B personality, I am pretty flexible and hate sticking exactly to a strict plan myself, so I don’t recommend it to others. Furthermore, if someone says “you can’t eat that” we want it more! It just doesn’t work.

The only exception is a medically supervised elimination diet in which removing some foods reduces symptoms, helps people feel better, and/or allows someone’s chronic health condition to heal.

Not as a general practice, but on a case by case basis I can work with people to develop a meal plan. Instead I focus more on a meal blueprint and how various foods and dishes fit this model to allow for more freedom and flexibility. I also help patients with recipe and meal ideas if they are simply looking for meals to have on rotation instead of having to come up with something new all the time.

I am absolutely not here to judge your food. I ask about your eating habits only so that I can get an idea of what you like, patterns I’m seeing, and where change could be the most beneficial. I like to know what you are already doing so that if I make suggestions, it is in line with your current eating pattern and lifestyle so that changes feel easier.

I get it, everyone is different and you may be wondering if I can help you with your particular health goals, eating habits, lifestyle, etc. If this is you, email me your questions/concerns at [email protected]! If I don’t feel I can help you, I will do my best to find a dietitian or other health practitioner who may be able to better meet your needs.
