My journey to becoming a dietitian was not a straight path - much like I'm sure your journey to your first 5K, 10th Ironman - or even getting dinner on the table on a weeknight - was not a straight path either. Along my journey, I received guidance and support from a lot of folks, and my hope is to do the same for you.

​

Nutrition information can be overwhelming - it's everywhere, it's abundant...it's often contradictory! My goal is to take the evidence-based science (what research tells us along with my clinical/practice experience) and translate it into real-world, individualized application for you. I specialize in helping busy individuals find a balanced, practical approach to eating that supports their goals.

​

I know nutrition is important for health and performance, and I also know there is no "perfect diet" or a one-size-fits all approach. I've worked in several settings where a team approach was used to treat patients or work with athletes - affording me the opportunity to think holistically when working with people. When I work with you, I take the time to understand your life in order to come up with a practical plan together.

​

I've worked with athletes of all types - youth, adult recreational and elite, collegiate, and pro.

​

I've worked with individuals wanting to lose over 100 lbs; individuals wanting to just move with less pain; and individuals not wanting to lose any weight but have a better relationship with food.

​

Regardless of who you are, I'm here to help.

On my way to becoming a dietitian, I served 8 years active duty in the US Coast Guard and retired from the reserves. I was a collegiate rower and swimmer turned triathlete post-college. Today, I do a mixture of lifestyle and planned exercise to stay active and healthy. In my spare time I get in some gardening, bread baking, and relaxation time with my husband.
