Hi! I’m a registered dietitian and the founder of At The Table, a pediatric and family nutrition practice dedicated to providing compassionate nutrition support that works in real life.
I take a holistic, family-centered approach to nutrition, considering how emotion, sleep patterns, movement, family dynamics, and routines interplay with nutrition, all while partnering with parents, the true experts on their children.
Respect your insights about your child’s personality, habits, and challenges
Help kids and teens build healthy habits in a positive, judgment-free way
Are safe, effective, and grounded in proven practices
For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of helping families navigate the full range of nutrition needs, from the everyday challenges of growing bodies and developing tastes, to more complex medical concerns.
I was clinically trained at Stanford Medicine Children’s Health, where I supported infants, children, and teens in a truly family-centered environment. That experience shaped how I practice today—grounded in science, deeply collaborative, and focused on what works in real life.
When my first child was born, I quickly learned that parenthood was the hardest job I would ever have. Then, while pregnant with my second and completing my clinical pediatric rotation in the hospital, I gained an even deeper understanding of just how difficult parenting can be.
As I navigated the everyday challenges of sleepless nights and messy floors, I met parents facing circumstances I could hardly imagine. They sat beside hospital beds, held their children’s hands, and asked them to be braver than any child should ever have to be.
I wanted to help—to ease their burden, reduce their suffering, and make even the smallest difference in their lives. What I discovered during that time was how deeply connected parenting is to feeding. No matter the diagnosis or treatment, one of the most fundamental ways parents care for their children is through nourishment. The desire to feed, nurture, and comfort a child through food is powerful, and it remains just as important in health as it does illness.
That experience taught me that feeding challenges are never just about food. They are also about relationships, emotions, and the profound responsibility parents feel to care for their children.
As a mom of four, including one child with celiac disease and multiple food allergies, I understand these challenges both as a dietitian and as a parent. My goal is to provide practical guidance, compassionate support, and a space where families can feel understood as they work toward a more peaceful relationship with food.
When I am not counseling families, you will find me spending time with my kids, cooking, enjoying the outdoors, or trying to keep up with endless loads of laundry. Like many parents, I juggle the everyday chaos of life, and I bring that understanding into every session.
(there’s always one not smiling!)
