What is a Registered Dietitian?
A Registered Dietitian (RD) is a professionally trained and licensed provider of nutritional and dietary counseling. RD’s have met the requirements established by the Commission on Dietetic Registration, an agency of the American Dietetic Association. Through examination and continuing professional development they demonstrate in-depth knowledge of food and nutrition science, and its relationship to health.

Each bite we take is an opportunity to move towards wellness. Our bodies respond based on the food we provide at every meal and snack. There are no “Good” or “Bad” foods. All foods can and should be enjoyed. We don’t have to eat perfectly to attain optimal wellbeing.
Many of us "know" what to do, but need the support and guidance to put plans into action without feeling overwhelmed. Some of us need permission to enjoy eating "forbidden" foods, some of us need help in adding more fruits and vegetables, some need tips for eating on the run, for quick meal ideas, for reducing sodium. Whatever your nutrition-related challenges may be, I will help you set small, attainable goals and provide you with the tools to succeed.
Over time, some of us have learned not to listen to our bodies, to distrust our hunger and fullness. From this distrust, disordered eating patterns can develop that perpetuate a vicious cycle of dieting and overeating. I will help you make peace with food and move toward a more intuitive eating style that honors your hunger, fullness, and inner wisdom.
