Food support that helps you feel less stressed about eating and more confident about real life nutrition.
Making balanced nutrition work for real life.
That's my superpower.
My Story & My "Why"
I spent over a decade working in hospitals and outpatient care, sitting with people during some of their most overwhelming moments. I learned quickly that the biggest barriers to healing were not a lack of information, but a lack of mental energy, support, and autonomy.
​
At the same time, I watched how assumptions about body size often shaped care before a person ever opened their mouth. Chronic stress, mixed messaging, and rigid systems were treated as personal failures instead of realities that make change genuinely hard.
​
Over time, this shaped how I practice. I believe people deserve nutrition care that supports their mental health, respects their lived experience, and strengthens their ability to make decisions without shame, pressure, or body-based judgment.
​
My work centers emotional stability, executive functioning, access to resources, and each person’s season of life. Healing does not look the same for everyone, and health risk is not the same thing as human worth.
​
That’s why I do this. To make food feel easier, care feel human, and healing feel possible in any size body.
What I Believe About Care:
I believe nutrition care should support the whole person, not just symptoms, numbers, or behaviors.
That means:
-
Care should account for mental health, stress load, energy, and real-life capacity
-
Progress should be measured by sustainability, not perfection
-
Nutrition should feel supportive and stabilizing, not another source of pressure
-
Education should empower people to make decisions—not create dependence
-
Care must respect autonomy, lived experience, culture, and context
I also believe ethical care includes clear boundaries. My work is educational and clinical nutrition support—not therapy or crisis care—and I collaborate with other providers when additional support is needed.
This philosophy guides every session, program, and resource I create.

National recognition as a "Best Practice" for a food-security focused mental health nutrition program development at the 2024 Veteran Food Security Summit in Washington DC.
Other Professional Work I developed and led a 7-week clinical nutrition and food security program for veterans in residential behavioral health at the VA, which earned national recognition at the 2024 Veteran Food Security Summit. I’ve facilitated evidence-based nutrition education for both active-duty service members and veterans, focusing on mental energy, recovery nutrition, and food peace.

I also mentor new dietitians and RD-to-be students remotely through national and community programs dedicated to strengthening the future of our profession.
