Business Owner
I became interested in nutrition because I’ve always enjoyed cooking… and eating! So, I pursued a degree in nutrition and dietetics and completed my training at OHSU. I later went on to work as a clinical dietitian at OHSU’s Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.
At Doernbecher, I worked with patients in the hospital as well as kids, teens and their parents in the outpatient setting. I learned two things about myself; I am fascinated by nutrition’s role in both physical and emotional health and I LOVE working with people of all ages as a partner in learning to trust their bodies and eliminate the «good food» and «bad food» myth.
Over time, I came to appreciate the relationship between eating, emotion and overall wellness. I realized my passion is for individualized nutrition counseling and medical nutrition therapy, and so I decided to open my own practice.
As a dietitian, my hope with all of my clients is to help them walk away from food rules & deprivation.
