Our work together begins with an initial intake appointment, which typically lasts 75 minutes depending on your needs.

Before we meet, you’ll complete intake paperwork so I can begin understanding the bigger picture of your health. During our first appointment, we’ll explore areas such as your current diet, eating habits, kitchen setup, lifestyle, health history, and goals, as well as any practical or financial considerations that may impact your ability to make changes.

Your second appointment is a collaborative 60-minute protocol appointment, where we’ll review my recommendations and tailor a plan that feels realistic and supportive for you.

From there, follow-up appointments typically last 45–50 minutes and are scheduled based on your goals and level of support needed. Together, we’ll continue fine-tuning your plan by looking at areas like sleep, movement, digestion, stress, and overall progress.

This is a collaborative process—you are the expert on your lived experience, and I’m here to guide, educate, and support you along the way.

I offer both virtual and in-person appointments, so you can choose what feels most supportive and convenient for you.

In-person appointments are available in Petaluma, California, and virtual appointments are available throughout the United States.

Many clients appreciate the flexibility of virtual appointments, while others prefer meeting in person. We can decide together what works best for your needs and schedule.

Dietitians and nutritional therapy practitioners have different training, credentials, and scopes of practice, but both can play valuable roles in supporting health.

Nutritional therapy takes a foundational, whole-body approach by looking at areas such as sleep, stress, nutrient-dense nutrition, blood sugar regulation, and digestion.

My role is not to prescribe medical treatment, but to help you better understand your body’s unique needs, offer personalized recommendations, and support sustainable changes that promote long-term wellness.

As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I focus on nutrition and lifestyle recommendations that support overall wellness and foundational health.

While emotions or life stressors may naturally come up during our appointments, nutritional therapy appointments are not psychotherapy and are not intended to provide mental health treatment.

If deeper therapeutic work is needed, that would need to take place separately through my psychotherapy practice. Likewise, if an existing therapy client wants to explore nutrition support, those appointments are scheduled separately under my NTP services.

Keeping these services separate helps maintain clear boundaries and ensures each type of care stays aligned with its intended purpose.

No. Nutritional therapy is not medical care and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.

The recommendations I provide are educational and wellness-focused, designed to support the body through nutrition and lifestyle foundations.

I am not a medical doctor or registered dietitian, and I encourage all clients to continue working with their licensed healthcare providers regarding medical concerns, diagnoses, or treatment decisions.

Not necessarily.

My approach is food and lifestyle first, which means we typically begin by looking at foundational areas such as nutrition, meal timing, sleep, stress, digestion, and blood sugar regulation.

Supplements can sometimes be a helpful tool when additional support is needed, but they are never the foundation of my work and are not recommended simply for the sake of adding more.

Any supplement recommendations I make are thoughtful, personalized, and based on your individual goals, needs, and budget.

Weight loss can be a health goal for some clients, but it is not the primary focus of my work.

Rather than centering calories, restriction, or the number on a scale, I focus on supporting the body’s foundational health through nourishment, sleep, digestion, stress regulation, and blood sugar balance.

My goal is to help you build a healthier relationship with your body and better understand what it needs to function well.

For many people, body composition changes may happen as overall health improves, but the deeper goal is helping you feel stronger, more nourished, and more supported in your body.

At this time, I do not accept insurance for nutritional therapy services.

Nutritional therapy is typically considered a wellness service and is not covered by most insurance plans.

Payment details will be discussed during your consultation. If you have questions about pricing or want to discuss whether this service may be a good fit for your budget, I’m happy to talk through that during our consultation.
