I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over six years of counseling experience. My journey to becoming a dietitian started in an unlikely place - a fast food restaurant - but the twists and turns along the way made me realize what I was truly passionate about. My supervisor at the restuarant happened to be a dietitian, and from speaking with her I had decided to pursue a career in nutrition where I could help others. Through my training and early career at Duke University Hospital, I truly fell in love with how nutrition could support patients with chronic conditions reach their goals - whether that was reducing medications, feeling more energized, or simply feeling confident enough again to nourish their bodies and feel good in their own skin. I was also able to apply my knowledge to help manage my spouse’s Crohn’s disease, and I was able to assist my mother as she adapted her diet in the setting of a new diagnosis of IBS and diverticulosis on top of existing food intolerances. I later became a family medicine Physician's Assistant, in addition to an RDN. My specialties include working with clients who have chronic medical conditions and and those seeking a better relationship with nutrition, health, and their body. This includes renal and liver disease, renal transplant, diabetes, weight management, bariatric surgery, and GI disorders.
