A functional nutritionist takes a personalized, clinical approach to your health. We go beyond generic advice or “quick fixes” and actually look at the full picture of your body and lifestyle. This includes reviewing lab results such as blood work, functional testing like stool analysis or micronutrient panels, taking a detailed health history, understanding your symptoms, and evaluating your dietary patterns.

By putting all of this information together, we aim to uncover the root causes of your health concerns rather than simply masking symptoms. Functional nutrition looks at diet, sleep, stress, relationships, movement, and more, to create a step-by-step, data-driven plan tailored specifically to you. The goal is to help you feel better, restore balance, and make sustainable changes that support your long-term health.

I work with a wide range of clients who want to feel better, perform better, and understand their bodies more clearly.

I support individuals with unresolved or chronic symptoms, athletes looking to optimize performance and recovery, and people who want to be proactive about long-term health and longevity.

If you’ve ever been told by a doctor “your labs are normal, everything is fine” but you KNOW you aren’t fine - please give me a call. You deserve better than that.

I take a very detailed clinical history and use a personalized approach that considers your goals, lifestyle, and physiology.

This is not one-size-fits-all nutrition. By using functional lab testing and listening closely to your unique situation I will make a plan that is just for you - tailored to your body’s unique needs. Then we will adjust it as we go, listening to your body’s response and modifying the plan based on what works and what doesn’t.

Education and partnership are central to my work. You deserve a plan that makes sense and helps you feel confident in your decisions.

I hold a master’s degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States. This accredited program combines rigorous biochemical and physiological training with a functional, systems-based clinical framework. It has given me the tools to approach complex symptoms with both scientific depth and practical clarity.

Before becoming a nutritionist, I taught high school chemistry and physics. Years of teaching helped me hone the skill of breaking down complicated concepts into simple, useful information. This skill shapes my patient care. I want you to understand the “why” behind your symptoms and every step of your plan

My interest in wellness began in high school when I developed severe abdominal pain that no one could explain. For more than fifteen years, I saw specialists, underwent countless labs and scans, and was often told the symptoms were normal, “in my head,” or stress related. Conventional GI doctors told me I would just be in pain forever and there was nothing more they could do.

My turning point came when I worked with eastern and functional medicine practitioners who evaluated my body as a complete system. Through acupuncture, herbal medicine, functional neurology, and targeted nutrition, I finally began to heal. This taught me the power of root-cause thinking and whole-person care, which is the foundation of my work today.

No I do not. All appointments are cash pay to allow for more in depth care.

This gives me the time it takes to provide the personalized nutrition that you’re coming here for. Plans that are custom-made for you.
