I take the time to explain the science behind nutrition recommendations and help you understand how food, lifestyle, and your medical history influence your health.
My approach is evidence-based and whole-person focused. Alongside nutrition, we can consider stress management, movement, sleep, self-care, and other practices that support your overall well-being. There is room for flexibility and for exploring approaches that align with your preferences and values.

Hi, I'm Courtney
I've been a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist since 2009, with experience in both clinical healthcare settings and virtual outpatient nutrition counseling. My professional experience, combined with my own health journey, has shaped my belief that nutrition counseling should consider the whole person—not simply a diagnosis.
I believe healthy eating should be flexible and supportive of your health without becoming another source of stress.
Get to know me →A few things you might be wondering
Do you accept insurance?
The nutrition practices I work with accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Insurance participation and coverage depend on your specific plan. In some cases, a physician referral may be required. We can discuss your options during your introductory call.
Which states can you work with clients in?
I provide virtual nutrition counseling to eligible clients in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.
Can you help with weight loss?
Often, yes. If weight loss is one of your goals, we'll discuss realistic expectations based on your health history, individual needs, and lifestyle. While weight may be one measure of progress, I also emphasize improvements beyond the scale, such as metabolic health, energy, strength, and overall well-being. We'll develop an approach that supports your health without relying on a one-size-fits-all diet plan.
Can you help with IBS or digestive symptoms?
Yes. I work with individuals experiencing IBS, reflux, food intolerances, and other digestive concerns, including those managing additional medical conditions.
Do you prescribe GLP-1 medications?
No. I provide nutrition counseling for individuals using medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide to optimize nutrition and help manage side effects. Medication prescribing and management remain with your medical provider.
Will you provide a meal plan?
Meal planning can absolutely be part of our counseling. Rather than providing a fixed plan to follow, I take a collaborative approach that considers your food preferences, schedule, and nutritional needs. We can work together on meal ideas, planning strategies, and practical ways to make eating well easier. My goal is to help you develop the skills and flexibility to plan meals that work for you, even as your needs and routines change.
