Background
As a Registered Dietitian with 20 years of experience, I have worked with clients with a wide variety of conditions and health goals, and I have seen food and nutrition trends come and go. I have found that diets that include a wide variety of foods, that are simple, practical, unrestrictive and that allow us to turn inward and focus on our body's natural cues result in long-term success. I love helping people find an eating pattern that helps them feel their best, enjoy food, and achieve their health goals.
I have spent the majority of my career working in Clinical Nutrition. Prior to starting my own practice, I spent 10 years leading a team of dietitians at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington DC where I provided nutrition counseling for a wide range of conditions. I currently serve as an adjunct professor of nutrition at Georgetown University and the University of Maryland Global Campus. I have a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from Michigan State University and a Master of Science in Human Nutrition from Eastern Michigan University. I am also a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor.
When I am not working with clients I am spending time with my husband, two children, and my naughty golden retriever. I consider myself an amateur baker and love baking up treats for friends and family. I also like any activity that gets me outside!
I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you on your personal health journey.
