One of the primary goals of nutrition counseling is to help individuals reconnect with their bodies - learning how they feel, what they need, and how to care for themselves in ways that support both physical and emotional well-being. This process involves exploring how thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about food are shaped by culture, social influences, past experiences, and personal preferences.
Healing a relationship with food requires curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to challenge unhelpful patterns. Nutritional needs naturally shift across different seasons of life, and these changes do not have to be navigated alone. Nutrition counseling offers a supportive, non-judgmental space to rebuild trust in the body, restore flexibility with food, and develop sustainable, nourishing habits that align with individual values and overall health.
I read more than anyone I know (usually staying up way too late to finish “just one more chapter”), but also spend a lot of my free time keeping up with my two boys and all their energy. You’ll usually find our family trying new restaurants, running around at soccer games on the weekends, or just getting outside to burn off some steam. I love connecting with people and hearing their stories, but outside of work, I’m all about family & friend time, good food, and a little bit of chaos. One random fun fact about me: I’m a self-proclaimed Valentine’s Day enthusiast and my husband and I have been making heart-shaped pizza every year since we started dating!
Energetic, compassionate, and always up for a good conversation.

- You value a warm, relational approach where you feel known, supported, and at ease
- You want to rebuild trust with your body and better understand its needs and signals
- You live in Georgia or Florida
