Background
Hello! I’m a Registered Dietitian with a Master of Science (MS) in Nutrition, licensed as both an RD (Registered Dietitian) and LD/N (Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist). These credentials represent my advanced education, national credentialing through the Commission on Dietetic Registration, and state licensure—ensuring I meet rigorous standards to provide expert, evidence-based nutritional care. Whether you're newly diagnosed or managing a chronic condition, you can expect a compassionate, science-backed approach tailored to your unique health goals.
My specialty lies in food allergies—a niche I’ve dedicated my career to supporting through multiple channels. Clinically, I work one-on-one with patients and families navigating complex dietary restrictions, helping them find safe, nourishing, and realistic solutions. In academia, I serve as a researcher, published author and active member of national allergy organizations I proudly precept dietetic interns during their supervised practice, helping shape the next generation of nutrition professionals. Additionally, I act as a medical advisor to a national food allergy organization, ensuring patient resources and advocacy efforts are grounded in sound nutritional science and current best practices.
Outside of work, I find joy in spending time with my family and caring for my (ever-growing!) collection of cactus plants. Just like my practice, I believe in nurturing growth—whether in people, plants, or professional development. I look forward to being part of your healthcare team and supporting you in your wellness journey.

Approach
"As a dietitian, I approach patient care with the "Golden Rule" as my foundation—treating others the way I would want to be treated. This means offering compassion, respect, and understanding to every person who walks through my virtual door. I recognize that food is deeply personal, tied to culture, emotion, identity, and experience. So, my role isn’t just to prescribe a meal plan or recite nutrition facts. It’s to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, valued, and supported."
