About

Hi there and thanks for checking out my profile. I am a registered dietitian who helps neurodivergent adults develop tools & strategies to meet their nutrition goals. I have helped people with ADHD, Autism, OCD as well as co-existing conditions like anxiety, depression and giftedness. I am registered in the United States and British Columbia.

When we work together, you’ll learn how to eat to meet your nutrition goals without falling into perfectionism, guilt or negative thinking. You’ll learn how to wade through the overwhelming amount of nutrition information and figure out what works for you. You will become empowered and comfortable with making your own food choices. You will find eating routines and strategies that work with you and still be able to enjoy all types of foods.

I specialize in the following nutrition topics :

Binge Eating & Disordered Eating

  • Decrease guilt, shame and anxiety around food
  • Find a healthy relationship with food and decrease binge eating sessions

Type 2 Diabetes

  • Find balance and a routine to help you mange your blood sugar
  • Decrease your A1C to less than 6.5

PCOS

  • Learn how to eat to decrease insulin resistance
  • Decrease and lessen your PCOS symptoms

Executive Dysfunction

  • Figure out systems and routines to decrease overwhelm
  • Work within your sensory preferences

Thanks for taking the time to read over my profile. If you’re interested and would like help tailored to your nutrition needs and neurodivergence, feel free to send me a message.
