A Registered Dietitian (RD) or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) is a licensed nutrition expert trained to help people improve their health through personalized nutrition care. Registered dietitians complete extensive education, supervised clinical training, and a national credentialing exam. Many states also require licensure to provide nutrition counseling. Unlike general nutritionists, RDs/RDNs can provide individualized, evidence-based nutrition counseling, including medical nutrition therapy for medical conditions and nutrition-related concerns. RD and RDN mean the same thing — both credentials represent the same professional qualifications.

Sessions are collaborative, practical, and focused on real-life eating challenges. We’ll explore what makes eating feel stressful and how factors like routines, stress, medications, and mental load influence appetite and food choices. Together, we’ll build realistic strategies that make eating feel more manageable — without rigid rules or perfection. Sessions are individualized and flexible. Some people come in with specific medical or nutrition concerns, while others want support improving everyday eating habits. When helpful, we may use structured tools such as The Well-Minded Method, but your care is always personalized. My approach is trauma-informed, judgment-free, and focused on sustainable habits that fit your life.

I support adults who want nutrition care that accounts for real life, mental load, and personal history. Many of my clients are navigating the intersection of food, stress, habits, and overall well-being. This may include people experiencing: Food-related challenges alongside anxiety or burnout • ADHD-related eating patterns or executive function challenges • Appetite or energy changes related to psychiatric medications • Food guilt, diet culture exhaustion, or chronic dieting recovery • Substance use recovery and rebuilding consistent eating patterns • Feeling overwhelmed by meal planning or food routines Some clients come with specific medical or nutrition concerns. Others just want support making everyday eating feel more manageable. My role is to provide nutrition counseling that makes eating feel more realistic and less stressful, while working alongside other healthcare providers when appropriate.

Session frequency is flexible and based on your needs, goals, and preferences. We decide together what feels most supportive and realistic for you. If you're using insurance, coverage and visit frequency depend on your specific plan. Many clients are able to schedule regular appointments, including weekly sessions, depending on their benefits. Many new clients start with weekly appointments and gradually move to bi-weekly or monthly sessions as routines feel more established and support needs change.
