I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I became a dietitian because I love food! I also looked for a career that involved science, medicine, and helping people.  I want to make food less stressful for you. 

​

Nutrition Interests:

I particularly enjoy working with people with eating disorders /disordered eating and people with all types of diabetes. I am skilled with diabetes technology, including insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors.  

I am happy to work with you on any nutrition topic that interests you. If food is causing you distress, you deserve to work with someone who can assist you! 

Get in touch to see if we would be a good fit.

​

Approach with Clients: 

Food should be simple and low stress. Any nutrition plan that dramatically increases stress is probably not actually improving your overall health. Nutrition is very important but it is only one component of health. Nutrition changes should take into account quality of life in all areas: social, physical, mental, spiritual, etc.

Weight neutral care is a basis for my approach.  Click here for more on weight neutral care.
