My passion for functional nutrition began through my own healing journey. After being diagnosed with two chronic illnesses, I experienced firsthand the challenges of managing complex symptoms, navigating food sensitivities, and searching for answers beyond symptom management. At one point, I could only tolerate five foods, and was searching for answers beyond symptom relief. As a nurse-turned-patient, I found myself on the other side of the healthcare system, facing many of the same frustrations and uncertainties my clients experience today.

🍎That journey inspired me to pursue a Master’s in Clinical Nutrition & Integrative Health and become the dietitian I needed during some of my most difficult moments.

🍏 Today, as a board-certified functional dietitian nutritionist, I help individuals uncover the root causes of digestive symptoms through a personalized, evidence-based, and holistic approach. My areas of expertise include gut health, food sensitivities, histamine intolerance, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), immune dysregulation, detoxification pathways, blood sugar imbalances, weight-management challenges, inflammation, chronic illness, and sustainable nutrition strategies that support real-life eating, including cultural foods.

⭐️My approach is shaped by more than two decades of experience as both a critical care and public health nurse. By combining clinical expertise, nutrition science, functional nutrition principles, and compassionate care, I help clients create meaningful, lasting improvements in their health and quality of life.
