Food allergies are often misdiagnosed and can be debilitating. I can tell you from my own experience that they do not need to be! I offer food allergy testing that is especially good for children because it uses a blood test rather than torturous skin tests or elimination diets. Dietary changes can make all the difference with a variety of physiological, cognitive, behavioral, and emotional symptoms.

Welcome
Health Counseling is a unique, exciting innovation in health and nutrition. As a Health Counselor, I have studied all the major dietary theories and will help you discover what approach works best for you at this point in your life.
While most dietitians dwell on calories, carbs, fats, proteins, restrictions and lists of good and bad foods, I work with my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and free of denial and discipline.
No one diet works for everyone
. I will guide you to find the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. I will also help you to make gradual, lifelong changes that enable you to reach your current and future health goals.
