Personal Approach: Mental well-being is deeply connected to the gut and overall physiological balance. My approach follows the Functional Medicine model, which means I look beyond symptoms to uncover the root causes of mental health concerns. Using advanced nutrition assessment tools, I evaluate how genetics, diet, environment, and lifestyle interact to impact mood, cognition, and emotional resilience.

Through a personalized, science-based plan, I focus on:

• Restoring gut health and balancing the microbiome to support neurotransmitter function

• Identifying and addressing nutrient deficiencies that impact mood and cognitive function

• Managing inflammation and oxidative stress through targeted dietary interventions

• Supporting detoxification pathways to reduce the burden of toxins affecting mental well-being

• Utilizing evidence-based supplements to complement a whole-food nutrition strategy

About Me: I help my clients improve their mental health through personalized nutrition interventions, education, and ongoing support, creating a holistic path to emotional and psychological well-being. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition Science and am currently pursuing a Master’s in Nutrition and Functional Medicine. I am a proud member of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals (NANP) and the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM). Originally from Brazil, I’m also a military wife, a mother of two children, and a devoted owner of one very stubborn bulldog.
