Summer's practice centers around a dual focus on mental health and chronic conditions like diabetes. As a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, she brings over a decade of experience in supporting patients with diabetes and metabolic health conditions. Summer’s empathetic approach and professional expertise make her a trusted partner in achieving both better health outcomes but also a more healthy relationship with food.
She is not a generalist or weight loss dietitian, but rather a dietitian who looks at the holistic picture of her patients (not just nutrition, but stress, sleep, and movement), recognizing that each patient's journey is unique and requires a personalized balance between mental health and nutrition support. Her practice focuses on sustainable change and making sure the body is nourished in a supportive way, instead of the stress that so often comes with restriction.
Summer's career has centered around quality clinical care, where she has led initiatives at a large insurance company supporting thousands of patients with chronic diseases. Her work in mental health, including eating disorders and disordered eating, is built on keeping a safe and supportive space for her patients.
