Background

I'm here to make transforming your life through nutrition both easy and enjoyable. Since becoming a Registered Dietitian in 2009, I've dedicated myself to simplifying the journey to good health. Food is one of my greatest passions, and I believe the secret to long-term wellness lies in what we eat most often, not in what we avoid. I emphasize simple, science-based food and behavioral strategies to help you reach your goals more effortlessly than you might imagine.

Empowering people to make changes that help them live their lives more fully is the most rewarding part of my work—this is the only life we get, after all. While I like to keep our conversations lighthearted, I take your results very seriously. I'll be present, enthusiastic, and mindful of your time. I don't like cold, clinical experiences anymore than you do. Let's have engaging conversations about how small changes can make a big difference in your life.

I can help you change your body composition—losing fat and gaining muscle—as well as manage or prevent chronic conditions like inflammation, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Born in Loma Linda, California, the United States' only Blue Zone, I understand the importance of healthspan, and I'd love to help you enjoy old age to the fullest. Whether you're a total beginner aiming to lose weight or an advanced biohacker seeking to optimize neuroplasticity, I'm here to help you achieve your nutrition goals in an unpretentious, attainable, and sustainable way.

In our first session, we'll get to know each other and make sure we're aligned on expectations. We'll set clear objectives, outline an action plan, and identify easy wins. In our follow-up visits, we'll celebrate your wins, tackle any challenges, and plan for whatever life might throw your way. I'll share tools to make things easier, like new foods and recipes to try, tracking tips, and specific advice if you're dealing with a medical condition or training for a competitive event. Throughout it all, you'll have my support and accountability between sessions.

When I'm not seeing patients, I'm spending time with loved ones, trying new foods, and exploring nature—sometimes all at once. I love meeting people and learning new things about them and their cultures. I also enjoy a mindless show or movie at the end of a long day.

This is your wellness journey, and it only works if it's a lifestyle you genuinely enjoy. If you value direct yet compassionate communication and are open to new ways of thinking about health, we can work together to create a path to lasting wellness that fits seamlessly into your life.
