My Nutrition Philosophy
As a faith-based dietitian, I believe that the Biblical principles of stewardship over the bodies we've been given are essential for achieving and maintaining health. I have a drive and an excitement for improving my clients' quality of life through sustainable healthy eating practices and lifestyle change. My goal is to inspire the motivation to improve health that begins from within each patient.
Most of my time as a dietitian has been providing 1-on-1 nutrition support for local clients in private practice for over 9 years, as well as providing clinical nutrition visits to patients through a nation-wide telehealth weight management program as a contract dietitian. This allowed me to support clients from all over North Carolina and in a variety of states, including Virginia, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and California, and to provide nutritional support for GLP-1 users. As of November 2026, I work exclusively through Nourish, a nation-wide telehealth and nutrition clinic that provides insurance-covered dietitian visits at low or no cost. I help my clients set SMART goals, explain nutrition concepts in ways that are easy to grasp, create a client-specific pattern of eating for their lifestyle, and offer creative solutions for helping clients overcome road blocks to lifestyle change. My experience has also included 2 and a half years as a contract dietitian for long-term care facilities, assessing nutritional status and overseeing therapeutic diets for a wide range of geriatric residents managing any combination of chronic conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease, tube-feeding, and wounds.
My training includes a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition & Dietetics from East Carolina University and a dietetic internship through Lenoir-Rhyne University. I also hold a Master's in Public Health from Virginia Commonwealth University and have completed a Certificate of Training in Obesity for Pediatrics & Adults, as well as specialized training in Celiac Disease and Gluten-Related Disorders.
