Take Charge of Your Health

Simple, personalized nutrition support by a Registered Dietitian

Individualized nutrition plans for the every day person

Whether you're managing a chronic condition, or it runs in your family and you want to prevent it, or maybe you just want to feel more energized and in control of your eating, I'm here to help you cut through the confusion and make lasting changes that actually work.

For folks living with diabetes:

You are not your diagnosis.

Living with diabetes can be exhausting — not just physically, but emotionally too. When your blood sugars feel unpredictable, it can affect everything from your energy to your mood, to how you show up in your relationships or work. Trying to "get it under control" can feel like a full-time job.

As a dietitian who specializes in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, I understand just how overwhelming it can be and I’m here to help. I hold the Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) credential, which means I stay up to date on the latest tools, tech (like Dexcom or Libre), medications, and research. More importantly, I use that knowledge to meet you where you are.

Together, we’ll create a plan that works with your lifestyle and food preferences — not against them — and helps you feel more confident and in control of your blood sugars without having to micromanage every bite.
