Certified Nutrition Specialist & Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist

Let me be honest with you: I did not always know I wanted to be a dietitian.
For years I was a footwear buyer in the fashion industry. I was good at it. I was also overworking, undereating, running on stress and caffeine, and doing a genuinely terrible job of taking care of myself. In 2015 I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's, and that diagnosis was, in the most unexpected way, the best thing that ever happened to me.

It forced me to slow down. To pay attention. To actually learn what my body needed instead of just pushing through. I started cooking more, eating differently, and noticed something I hadn't felt in years: I felt good. Like actually, consistently good. And I got a little obsessed with understanding why.
That obsession turned into a healthy cooking blog, which turned into a Master's of Science in Nutrition and Integrative Health from Maryland University of Integrative Health, which turned into over a decade of working with women whose bodies were doing the exact same thing mine had been doing, asking for help in the only language they had.

Since graduating in 2019, I've built my clinical experience specifically around women's health. I spent time at a top fertility-focused nutrition practice in Boston, where I worked with women navigating reproductive health, cycle irregularities, and the very specific nutritional demands of trying to conceive and carry a healthy pregnancy. From there I joined a leading functional nutrition practice where I've spent the past several years deepening my expertise in hormones, gut health, and skin. Because in women's bodies, those three things are almost never as separate as they seem.

I'm a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist (LDN), and I practice through a functional medicine lens. Which really just means I'm less interested in masking your symptoms and more interested in figuring out what's actually driving them.

I also happen to be a working mom to two of the most chaotic and wonderful little people, Oliver (6) and Zoey (3). So when you tell me you know you should be taking better care of yourself but you are completely running on empty and have nothing left at the end of the day, I am not just nodding along professionally. I genuinely get it.

What I can tell you from both sides, as a clinician and as a woman who has been exactly where you are, is that taking care of yourself is not selfish. It is the thing that makes everything else possible. And once you start? You will never want to go back.
