As a plant-based chef (embracing all eating preferences- from vegans to carnivores and everyone in between!) with a big appetite for delicious, wholesome, locally grown food, I have spent many years exploring the connection between food, well-being, community, and the planet. My appetite for vibrant, flavorful food & living a juicy life inspires my approach to wellness. I believe food should be as joyful as it is nourishing. That’s why I help you cultivate a healthy, intuitive relationship with food, listening closely to what your body truly craves.

I blend holistic nutrition with culinary creativity to empower you to make nourishing, mindful, and delightful food choices that align with your unique health goals & values. Through personalized coaching, we will create a nutrition & lifestyle guide that includes a customized cookbook filled with colorful plant-based recipes featuring your favorite superfoods and small daily habits designed to support your well-being. Together, we will explore the transformative power of food as medicine for your body, mind, spirit, soul, and the Earth.

Whether you want to enhance overall wellness, manage specific health conditions, or deepen your connection to the food you eat, I am here to support your journey. Let’s create a delicious path towards wellness, honoring both you and the planet every step of the way.

*While I emphasize a plant-centered approach, you don’t need to be vegan or plant-based to work with me. I do not focus on food restriction, fad diets, calorie counting, or anything that makes you feel bad about your food choices. Wherever you are on your health journey, I am here to support you.

I’m a primary care internal medicine physician in Sandy Springs. I love general primary care medicine and have a special interest in mental health, women’s health and empowering patients to live a healthy lifestyle. I value listening to patients, building relationships with them, and providing thorough, compassionate, evidence-based care. I live in Roswell with my husband and two young boys and am fluent in Spanish.
I have been vegan since early 2019 and am happy to encourage and advise patients who are vegan or who are shifting more plant-based. A plant-based diet is sustainable for our planet, promotes kindness to all living beings, and can improve your health and wellbeing. Whether you’re a lifelong vegan or just considering getting started on your plant-based journey, I’m happy to chat about food and nutrition as well as all your other healthcare needs and concerns.
