Counseling Style
I like to start by listening.
I’m happy to hear about the little things in your life, your worries, or anything that may be on your mind, because those details help me understand you as a person, not just as a client.
I use thoughtful questions to help us figure out what really matters to you and what may be getting in the way.
From there, I can share my nutrition knowledge and suggestions, but we make decisions together based on what feels comfortable and realistic for you.
If something doesn’t work, we can talk about why, adjust it, and find another way forward—one small step at a time.
Specialties
Diabetes nutrition, plant-based eating, and disordered eating.
Skills I Work On With Clients
1. Planning simple meals based on foods you already enjoy
2. Grocery planning and choosing foods that fit your needs and preferences
3. Identifying barriers to eating or cooking and finding small, realistic changes to try
Outside of nutrition, I love fire dancing, which I first learned for a student association welcome event and have enjoyed ever since. I’m originally from Taiwan, speak Mandarin, and enjoy cooking Asian food at home. I don’t eat beef or lamb, so I usually cook with chicken, pork, fish, eggs, and tofu instead.
