Diet and exercise need to be balanced in order to achieve successful weight loss. As a clinical Dietitian/ Nutritionist, I can educate you on ways to incorporate healthy eating into your lifestyle and create an individualized plan to achieve your goals. I can assist you in not only meal planning, but also addressing behavioral aspects that coincide with lifestyle changes needed to achieve your specific goals.
If you struggle with an eating disorder, you should know that I believe clients can be recovered to live a healthy, happy life. My practice specializes in helping people overcome disordered eating such as food addiction, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and others. My goal is to help you change the way you perceive food and fitness, and develop a positive body image.
Food and nutrition are essential to overall health. Many medical conditions can be prevented and improved with changes to the foods you choose. I will work with you and your doctors, taking on an integrative approach, aimed to help you live better and feel better. Whether you need medical nutrition planning or just looking to lose weight, diet planning will be tailored to your specific and individualized needs.
This is a completely internet based process. We will meet face to face via computer interface. This is a HIPPA supported program and is completely confidential.
Once we discuss what type of nutrition plan best fits your needs, we will schedule our first appointment. At that time, we will develop continued care planning and follow up appointments coinciding with your preferences and clinical needs.
After our initial appointment and we have developed a plan to start with, you will then be linked into a system that will allow for us to communicate. It is simple and user friendly. The benefit of internet based planning is that we will be able to stay in contact as often as necessary. No more going to an office or trying to make calls during your busy day!
The program is designed to allow for continual contact for daily monitoring, complete flexibility, and support.
Depending on progress and how well you are able to maintain and/ or reach your goals, we will modify the plan. There is not one blanket approach that matches every person. I aim to plan treatments from an integrative perspective and focus on individual needs. My goal is to educate and guide my patients toward living healthier lives. This means that the positive changes that we can make and the knowledge you will learn will ultimately become part of your permanent lifestyle.

I enjoy working on specialized nutrition planning for those with diabetes, renal disease, cancer, inflammatory disease processes, weight loss, esophageal, gastric, and bowel diseases, dysphagia, tube feeding needs, and many, many others.
In addition, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I completed my Master's Degree in 2016 and fully licensed in 2021. My specialization and focus is in treating disordered eating practices/ eating disorders and other conditions requiring mental health support. My aim is to include mental health aspects into all nutrition counseling and otherwise as it is critical to address each individual from an integrative perspective.
