A registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) is a licensed food and nutrition expert with the education and training to help people improve their health through diet. Unlike general nutritionists, RDs provide personalized, science-backed guidance tailored to your specific needs.

As a non-diet, mental-health–informed dietitian, I provide nutrition counseling that considers how food, stress, habits, and daily life interact. My work is grounded in evidence-based nutrition and behavior change principles, with attention to how the brain, body, and nervous system influence eating patterns over time.

My approach is weight-neutral and patient-centered, focusing on practical factors such as food-related stress, consistency, appetite cues, energy levels, daily routines, and overall eating patterns. Care is individualized to each person’s lifestyle, stress load, cultural background, mental and emotional bandwidth, goals, and lived experience.

I support adults who want nutrition care that accounts for real life, mental load, and lived experience. Many of my clients are navigating the intersection of food, stress, habits, and overall well-being.

This includes individuals experiencing food-related challenges alongside anxiety or burnout, ADHD-related eating patterns, appetite or energy changes associated with psychiatric medications, food guilt, diet culture exhaustion, chronic dieting recovery, substance use recovery, and neurodivergent adults who feel overwhelmed by meal planning.

My role is to provide nutrition counseling that helps make eating feel more manageable, realistic, and supportive—while working alongside, not in place of, other healthcare providers when appropriate.

Sessions are collaborative, practical, and focused on real-life eating challenges. We’ll explore what makes eating feel stressful, how factors like stress, routines, and mental load influence appetite and food choices, and identify nutrition strategies that fit your life.

Together, we work toward making food feel more manageable by building sustainable routines, reducing overwhelm around eating, and supporting nourishment without guilt. Sessions are flexible, trauma-informed, and judgment-free, with an emphasis on realistic habits rather than perfection.

Session frequency is flexible and based on your needs, goals, and preferences. We’ll 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 choose to start with weekly appointments and gradually transition to bi-weekly or monthly sessions as routines feel more established and support needs change.
