My Story
I know you. I know your challenges, concerns, and stress around food and nutrition. I know because I've lived it.
Before I became a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I had a stressful career in finance. I worked long hours, survived on business meals and caffeine, and traveled between Chicago, New York, and Washington, D.C.
That high-stress life affected my health. Eventually, I was diagnosed with digestive problems. Due to my severe food reactions, I dreaded eating. I hated most of the foods that I used to love.
After exhausting all other options, my doctor recommended the Low FODMAP diet. That experience helped me to understand both the benefits and complications that come with this type of recommendation.
My experience inspired me to become a nutritionist in order to help people with food and nutrition issues. I completed my graduate degree and dietetic internship with the University of Illinois at Chicago, including clinical rotations at NorthShore University HealthSystem and Northwest Community Hospital.
I'm an expert in the areas of digestive health and disordered eating. I help people improve their relationships with foods with a gentle, non-diet approach to nutrition. I work with clients to minimize food restrictions related to their medical conditions.
I’m a newer resident of Seattle. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and spending time outdoors. I've hiked the Grand Canyon twice and completed my first 14er. I've been to 47 of 50 states, visited 4 continents, lived in Europe, and can order food in 5 languages.
