Thank you for visiting Thrive!

I have been a nutrition professional for 14 years working in various settings, including; hospitals, wellness centers, sports conditioning centers, academic institutions and industry.  My favorite part of being a dietitian is helping my clients feel good in their skin- mind, body and soul.  My mission is to guide you, giving you scientifically sound and accurate advice.  I will strive to find out what you really want, and help you to achieve those goals with presence and attention.  I genuinely want you to succeed and will do everything I can to make that happen.
