Registered Dietitian and Owner
About
I graduated from the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa (ROLL TIDE!), with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Nutrition. I am a Board Certified Specialist in Pediatric Nutrition and I am also certified in Treating Gluten-related Disorders.
With over 20 years as a registered dietitian, I've had the privilege of supporting individuals at every stage of their nutrition journey. My diverse experience spans working with premature infants through adulthood in hospital settings, serving as Director of Health and Wellness at a large medical group, traveling across the U.S. as a resource dietitian, and conducting research with a major pharmaceutical company on weight loss medication.
My personal journey with an autoimmune disorder has deepened my understanding of the healing power of food. This experience fuels my commitment to a non-diet, empowering, and judgment-free approach to nutrition. I believe in using food as medicine and focus on practical, sustainable habits that nourish the body and mind. Whether you're managing a medical condition or seeking a healthier relationship with food, I'm here to guide you.
Originally from Cleveland, Tennessee, I now call Gainesville, Georgia, home. As a proud parent of three wonderful children—Tyler, Olivia, and Harper—I am also the proud pet mom of two amazing dogs, Cookie and Clara Belle, and an adorable cat named Josie.

GOT QUESTIONS??
According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) are food and nutrition experts with a minimum of a graduate degree from an accredited dietetics program and who completed a supervised practice requirement, passed a national exam and continued professional development throughout their careers. “Registered dietitian nutritionist” is a legally protected title. Only practitioners who have completed specific educational requirements, passed a national exam and continue learning through ongoing education can use these titles and credentials. However, there is no specific, standardized meaning for “nutritionist.” Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. So whether someone calls themselves “dietitian” or “nutritionist,” check for credentials to ensure they are qualified nutrition experts
What is a registered dietitian nutritionist?
Do I take Insurance?
Yes! Many commercial insurance plans have preventative benefits that cover medical nutrition therapy for as low as $0 out of pocket. Others have coverage related to the treatment of specific medical conditions such as diabetes, obesity, gastrointestinal disorders, or heart disease. Coverage can vary significantly by provider and plan, so it’s essential to check your individual benefits. I recommend that you contact your insurance company directly to confirm your coverage for nutrition counseling services. You can ask your insurance provider about Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes 97802 and 97803 for details on your specific plan coverage. I am currently in-network with Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, Carefirst, Cigna, Empire, Florida Blue, Golden Rule, Highmark, Horizon, Independence Blue Cross, Optum, Oxford, Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield, Select Health, United Healthcare, United Medical Resources (UMR) and more (subject to change). I also offer self-pay options for individual and group sessions. Contact me for prices. Due to licensure laws, I am currently able to see patients in the following states: AK, AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, IN, MA, MI, NH, NJ, NY, OK, OR, PA, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WV, WI, WY.
Do I need a referral?
You do not need a referral to schedule but must provide a medical providers name to contact for documentation. Providers can refer directly by sending fax to 770-470-0770.
Do I offer virtual appointments?
Yes! I provide virtual sessions for your convenience, allowing you to receive nutrition guidance from the comfort of your home. Visits last anywhere from 30-90 minutes depending on type of visit.
