Welcome! I am an anti-diet Registered Dietitian that focuses on overall wellbeing rather than the number on the scale. Over the past five years I have gained experience in the hospital setting, community health, and eating disorder treatment centers. I have worked closely with individuals facing various health concerns including malnutrition, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, disordered eating, and eating disorders. I also work closely with pregnant and post-partum mothers to optimize their health status through nutrition.
As a Registered Dietitian, I am not the food police. I am not here to tell you not to eat your favorite foods. I am passionate about healing relationships with food and helping individuals break free of the diet mentality. I work to empower individuals with knowledge so they can make the choices that best fit their own goals and lifestyles.
A little bit about me- I am Florida native and a foodie at heart. I enjoy cooking, baking, traveling, and trying new foods. Before I learned about the field of Dietetics, I wanted to be a Chef, so I compromised with myself by briefly moving to Colorado to receive my undergraduate degree in Culinary Nutrition from Johnson & Wales University. Although I miss the mountains, my graduate program brought me back to my family, friends, and the warmth of the Florida sun. On my days off you can find me at beach with my husband and rescue dog Sambuca.
