A registered dietitian for Costa Mesa — virtually.

Costa Mesa is the urban, creative heart of central Orange County — an arts-and-commerce city, not a beach town, anchored by South Coast Plaza and the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, with the indie SoBeCa, 17th Street and The CAMP districts giving it a dense, walkable food-and-design culture.

It's younger and more urban than its neighbors, with a big renter population, a strong independent restaurant scene, and a college-town layer from Orange Coast College and Vanguard University. People here eat out a lot and live busy, full lives.

That's the reality I build around. Good nutrition has to work with real eating — restaurants, takeout, a packed schedule — not a rigid meal plan, and virtual delivery means expert care fits your week without a drive.

Costa Mesa runs on a busy urban rhythm — younger professionals, students, creatives, a lot of eating out. Telehealth fits care into that life: a video visit from home or between things, with no drive, and a plan that works with how you actually eat.

Each session is a video visit with a personalized plan and written resources sent after. We can review labs, fold in CGM data and iterate over follow-ups.

I'm based in Orange County and virtual-first. Select in-person sessions in OC are available by request, but the practice is built around telehealth so care stays consistent.

Most Costa Mesa clients come in for PCOS and hormone work, insulin resistance, or gut symptoms (IBS, reflux, food reactions). The work is root-cause and weight-inclusive — using symptoms, labs and cycles as the real measure of progress, not the scale.

Metabolic health is the other big one — building sustainable habits around a busy, eat-out-often urban lifestyle. The point isn't to make you cook every meal at home; it's to build a way of eating that holds up against restaurants, takeout and a full calendar.
