IFFGD is your resource for reliable knowledge, support, and assistance about Gastrointestinal Disorders

My mission is to provide you with accessible evidence-based nutrition therapy, counseling, and resources that are personal and effective. I specialize in forward-thinking diet therapies for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. I devoted my career to helping others overcome their gastrointestinal issues and want to share my unique experiences and expertise with you. A happy and healthy gut is the cornerstone to one’s well-being. Over the past six years I worked with pediatric patients at Seattle Children’s Hospital to improve their gut health. The gastrointestinal nutrition-related issues I saw ranged from food allergies to complex motility disorders, tube feeding, and chronic disease. I established the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) nutrition program with a multidisciplinary team and ultimately specialized as an IBD dietitian. I realized the tremendous role that nutrition plays in disease management through years of experience implementing and researching diet as therapy. Currently, I am the dietitian expert in a national multi-centered, multidisciplinary team investigating the relationship between the specific carbohydrate diet and IBD. Seeing the impact of food on our physical well-being continually amazes me. While working with me, you will have an advocate, educator and coach. Through our team efforts, you will be equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to improve your quality of life.
