*CKD - DIABETES - WEIGHT MANAGEMENT* My passion for nutrition began at an early age. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher, but once I learned what a tremendous impact food has on our health I was hooked. I grew up with two family members who managed diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2) on a daily basis. My career started in pediatrics, then I went on to spend 5 years working in dialysis. During this time, I realized I wanted to assist those at risk of disease complications (such as diabetes and kidney disease) avoid lifelong complications all together, which led me to open my private practice. Although I've never walked in the shoes of someone with diabetes or kidney disease, I have seen the impact health complications can have on your personal life. No matter what diagnosis you may have received, whether it's diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or even just the need to lose weight, this does not ever define who you are. Food is meant to be enjoyed, and I am excited to help you find this freedom! I believe that all foods can fit into a healthy eating pattern. I utilize motivational interviewing to ensure counseling remains client-centered, and to help you achieve your personal goals. During our time together we can discuss the many methods to measure success besides weight, which I like to call non-scale victories. I am a wife and a mom, meaning I understand what it means to be busy and feel like you don't have time to eat healthy. Good news-it is possible! In my free time I enjoy trying new restaurants/recipes, gardening to grow my own produce, and family walks with our dog.
