Health Care LGBTQ+-owned
Registered Dietitian with the Commission on Dietetic Registration
In-Net work with Blue Cross Blue Sheild/Regence/Blue Card, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare — MOST PATIENTS PAY $0 COPAY.
I am a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) providing comprehensive medical nutrition therapy for individuals and families across Washington, Oregon, and 7 other telehealth states. My practice specializes in metabolic health — GLP-1 medication support (using safer approaches, not trends), preidabetes reversal, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and heart health — with a weight-neutral, trauma-informed approach that meets every patient where they are. I believe people can be healthy at any weight, but if someone wants to develop healthy habits that will produce weight loss I want them to be safe and have a healthy relationship with food.
I began my career in 1995 working in long-term care and WIC perinatal programs. I served as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in Armenia and East Timor, later managing therapeutic nutrition programs in Ethiopia and Sudan. That global public health background shapes how I approach every patient: care that is practical, evidence-based, and deeply respectful of each person's lived experience.
I am proud to provide affirming, inclusive care for the LGBTQIA2S+ community and all family structures. I respect folk's pronouns, preferred names and relationship configurations. I myself see providers from the queer community, knowing I do not have to explain my community, or culture just to be on the same page.
