Colorado Is Home - And the Place That Brought Me Back
I grew up in South Dakota, and Colorado has been my home for my entire adult life - with the exception of the years I lived in Hawaii and the year I spent in Virginia completing my dietetic internship.
I first came to Colorado for massage therapy school and later completed my undergraduate and graduate nutrition training here. After my time in Hawaiʻi, Colorado is the place that pulled me back. The lifestyle here fits me. The pace, the food rhythms, the way people build their days - and it’s where my professional identity and approach to nutrition really took shape.
Colorado has a rhythm that fits me - steady, practical, and built around real life. The way people eat, work, and move through their days here feels familiar, and it’s shaped how I support adults in building eating patterns that actually work.
My work focuses on helping Colorado adults build eating patterns that feel steady, doable, and honest - not rigid, not restrictive, and not built around sports or performance nutrition. Just real‑life fueling for real‑life routines.
Food gets complicated when life is full. My approach is built for adults who are juggling:
✔ work
✔ family
✔ stress
✔ transitions
✔ appetite changes
✔ long days and short windows to eat
My work is:
✔ non‑diet
✔ trauma‑informed
✔ clinically grounded
✔ in network with insurance
✔ gentle and doable
✔ focused on long‑term stability, not short‑term fixes
Whether you’re navigating emotional eating, appetite swings, busy schedules, or the realities of feeding yourself (and sometimes others), we build patterns that feel sustainable - not overwhelming.

What Working Together Looks Like
Our work is collaborative, gentle, and grounded in real‑life patterns. You’ll never be judged, rushed, or pushed into rigid plans.
Together we focus on:
✔ stabilizing eating patterns
✔ reducing stress around food
✔ supporting your medical conditions
✔ building meals that work with your life
✔ understanding emotional eating without shame
✔ navigating appetite changes
✔ creating sustainable routines
For general nutrition counseling, I do not use restrictive or diet‑style meal plans. Within eating disorder treatment, I provide structured, prescriptive meal plans when clinically indicated. These plans remove decision‑making, stabilize intake, and include clear contingencies for missed meals or incomplete intake to support medical and behavioral safety.
This is adult nutrition care - calm, clear, and clinically grounded.

My Values
Trauma-Informed Care
Your nervous system matters. I approach nutrition work with an understanding of safety, pacing, and the ways stress, trauma, and lived experience shape eating patterns.
Collaboration Over Control
Nutrition support should never feel prescriptive or top-down. We make decisions together, honoring your autonomy and your real life.
A Non-Diet, Weight-Inclusive Lens
I don’t use shame, fear, or rigid rules. My work centers on clarity, consistency, and supportive patterns — not restriction.
Real-Life Sustainability
Food is personal, cultural, emotional, and practical. I help you create patterns that fit your actual life.

My Background
I’ve spent my career supporting adults navigating complex relationships with food, appetite, and health. My work is grounded in trauma‑informed care, nervous‑system awareness, and a non‑diet approach that centers clarity, collaboration, and real‑life sustainability. I bring this experience into my virtual work with adults across Oregon, offering grounded, judgment‑free nutrition support that meets you where you are.
Insurance and Payment
Many UnitedHealthcare plans include $0 out‑of‑pocket visits for nutrition counseling. I can help you understand what questions to ask your plan so you know what’s covered.
