General Nutrition Counseling and Specialties
Since becoming a Registered Dietitian in 2017, I have helped clients improve their health with a variety of issues. In addition to general nutrition counseling, my specialties include:

details on each below
GLP-1 treatment for Diabetes or Weight Loss
I am neither ‘for’ nor ‘against’ these medications. Each person has their own story to tell why they decided to take these medications. These medications do not affect everyone the same. I have learned so much from my clients’ unique experiences and I can provide you:
- A safe space to explore your goals.
- Help navigating the physical, mental and emotional changes that can be part of taking GLP-1.
- Evaluation of your diet and suggest tweaks to help you meet your nutritional needs.
Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES)
Helping people with diabetes is so rewarding because I often see people go from defeated to empowered in a short amount of time. Looking at diet and lifestyle is just one part of the puzzle. More than just following a “diabetic diet” we’ll cover other areas that impact your health and quality of life!

Diabetes in Pregnancy
Pregnancy hormones can cause a temporary type of diabetes. Getting the diagnosis of gestational diabetes can be very scary, and fears exacerbated when trying to get answers on-line. If you already have a good understanding of balanced nutrition during pregnancy, a couple of sessions may be enough to help you understand GDM diagnosis, and how to manage during pregnancy. If you have not thought much about nutrition before now, more sessions are advisable.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome has been getting more attention in the medical community. In the past two reasons for seeking medical attention were weight loss and/or infertility. Fortunately, more research is giving us more tools to help manage PCOS symptoms. Nutritional counseling may help with issues such as:
Excess hair growth, low energy, mental fog, food cravings and more.
