Your Questions, Answered

  • My approach is grounded in evidence-based nutrition and clinical reasoning, with a functional lens when deeper exploration is helpful. I start with food, habits, and physiology—not restriction, perfection, or one-size-fits-all rules.

    I view symptoms as information rather than problems to suppress. My goal is to understand patterns over time, identify what may be driving imbalance, and create a plan that is both realistic and supportive of real life. I don’t believe in chasing lab values, over-testing, or using supplements as a replacement for nutrition.

    Above all, I value nuance. Bodies respond differently, health is rarely linear, and progress often happens through small, sustainable shifts rather than extreme changes. I aim to meet clients where they are and provide guidance that is thoughtful, practical, and grounded in science.

  • I work with adults who are dealing with things like digestive concerns, hormone or menstrual issues, mood or energy changes, metabolic health concerns, and chronic stress. Many of my clients feel like they’re doing a lot “right” already but aren’t seeing the results they expect.

  • Functional nutrition is a framework for organizing clinical information and identifying patterns. My work is grounded in nutrition science, physiology, and clinical reasoning. Tools and strategies are used selectively, not as one-size-fits-all solutions.

  • Yes. I work with insurance-based clients through Nourish, depending on coverage. I also offer a limited number of private cash-pay sessions for clients whose insurance does not cover nutrition counseling or who are seeking a more flexible model of care.

  • Private pay sessions are self-pay and are not billed through insurance. This option can be helpful for clients who want more flexibility, are not covered by insurance, or are interested in more in-depth support. Availability for private sessions is limited.

  • Yes, when clinically appropriate. These tests can provide additional insight into hormone patterns or gut health for some clients. Interpretation and context matter far more than the test itself, and results are always discussed alongside symptoms, history, and nutrition.

  • At this time, functional testing is offered as part of a clinical relationship to ensure appropriate use and interpretation. These tests are most helpful when paired with individualized guidance.
