Background

When working with me, clients can expect a collaborative, evidence-based approach that focuses on creating lasting, sustainable changes. I prioritize educating clients, so they gain the tools to make informed decisions about their health and nutrition. Sessions with me are personalized, supportive, and built around individual needs and goals. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to incorporate nutrition into your lifestyle in a way that works for you.

Focus Areas:

I specialize in a variety of nutrition topics, including weight management, chronic disease prevention, and improving overall health through balanced eating. I use a combination of behavioral theories like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients address emotional eating and build healthier habits. Whether you're looking to manage a medical condition or simply feel better overall, I tailor my approach to your unique preferences and lifestyle, ensuring a comfortable and achievable path to success.

Credentials:

I hold a Master's degree in Nutrition and Dietetics and I have with extensive training in evidence-based nutrition. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills through both academic coursework and hands on experience, providing guidance in both clinical and private practice settings. I stay up to date with the latest research and continuously improve my practice to ensure I offer the highest quality service. My commitment to excellence is reflected in the positive outcomes my clients achieve.

Personal: 

Outside of my work, I’m passionate about cooking and experimenting with healthy recipes. I love exploring new cuisines and am always on the lookout for ways to make nutritious food enjoyable and exciting. I also enjoy biking and spending time in nature which keeps me grounded and inspired. I believe that taking care of oneself goes beyond food and extends to mental and physical well-being.

Drive:

My journey to becoming a dietitian began with a deep passion for helping others improve their health through nutrition. I’ve always been fascinated by how food can impact both our body and mind. Building my private practice allows me to connect directly with clients and create personalized, practical solutions that fit their lives. I’m driven by seeing clients transform and achieve their health goals, knowing that the changes they make today will positively impact their future.
