I have a special interest in helping patients achieve better health through sustainable weight loss. My passion is also deeply personal. In my thirties, I became a wife and mom of 3 kids, all while working and trying to "do it all." I had never struggled with weight before, but suddenly I found myself struggling with my postpartum body. As a physician, I would go to work and talk to patients all day long about self-care, nutrition, and exercise, yet here I was unable to do this myself. I felt overwhelmed and stuck. If you feel this way too, please know that you are not alone. It is never too late to make changes and take control of your health. If I can, then so can you! I believe in a holistic, collaborative approach to weight management, one that considers the physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors that affect your health. My program is rooted in science, not gimmicks or fad diets. I will partner with you to create a personalized plan that supports lasting, meaningful change.
