Following graduation, I began my career with the ProMedica Health System in Toledo, Ohio, where I gained extensive experience providing medical nutrition therapy for individuals managing a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions. This clinical foundation strengthened my belief that nutrition is one of the most powerful tools we have to prevent disease, improve well-being, and support healthy aging.

Today, through Spoon & Fork, my mission is to help people cut through the noise of nutrition advice and focus on evidence-based, sustainable habits that create meaningful, lasting change. I take a holistic approach that considers the whole person, not just their symptoms or diagnosis, because true health is about more than what we eat. It's about creating a lifestyle that supports vitality, resilience, and well-being for years to come.

After relocating to Colorado, I expanded my practice beyond the hospital setting and into outpatient care, where I developed a special interest in digestive health and inflammation-related conditions. To better serve individuals struggling with complex food sensitivities and chronic symptoms, I became a Certified LEAP Therapist (CLT), specializing in nutrition strategies for IBS, IBD, celiac disease, migraines, and other autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.

I firmly believe that food is one of the most powerful tools we have to support both physical and mental well-being. Nutrition has the ability to enhance quality of life, improve daily function, and help people feel their best. My goal is to guide clients on their wellness journey with empathy, education, and evidence-based care.

With more than a decade of experience as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), I founded my own insurance-accepting private practice to make high-quality nutrition counseling more accessible. I combine clinical expertise with a compassionate, personalized approach, recognizing that every individual's health journey is unique. I value building collaborative relationships with my clients and creating realistic, sustainable strategies that fit their lifestyles, rather than relying on restrictive or one-size-fits-all solutions. Above all, I am passionate about helping people develop a positive relationship with food while improving their health, confidence, and overall well-being.

When I'm not working with clients, you'll likely find me exploring Colorado's trails, photographing wildflowers, chatting enthusiastically about native plants, tending to my growing native plant garden, experimenting in the kitchen, creating pottery, or spending quality time with my family.
