I have been a dietitian for the past decade working in hospitals where I specialized in the ICU and oncology units. For the past three years I have been a short-term contract dietitian traveling to hospitals throughout the country, most notably, University of New Mexico and Johns Hopkins University. I graduated with my Bachelors and Masters of Science degrees from Texas Woman’s University, where I also completed my dietetic internship in Denton, TX.
As most of my training and experience has been in the hospital, I specialize in many areas of nutrition including pre-diabetes, diabetes, cancer, kidney disease and more. I like to follow a non-diet approach to nutrition, with my overall objectives to help you meet your goals and to achieve “nutrition intuition.” I believe all of my clients have the right to be able to eat the foods that they enjoy and make them feel their best without having nutrition be an everyday concern.
My focus is to help you obtain long lasting results and avoid quick fixes that lead to short lived outcomes. Through our work together you can expect personalized care from a provider that meets you where you are in your health journey and is invested in your success that fits your lifestyle. As a member of the LGTBQIA+ community and an ally to the Black Lives Matter movement I am passionate about creating a safe and inclusive environment where all feel welcome.
My love for nutrition has led me to the joy of helping clients thrive and go from suffering, pain or worry, to having peace of mind, confidence and greater quality of life. My intention of creating a private practice is to provide a goal standard level of care and compassion to all who desire to improve their well-being through nutrition.
During my free time you can find me spending time with my bio and chosen family, especially my niece, nephews and goddaughter when I am home. I also enjoy trying new foods, traveling, reading, and hiking when the weather is nice.
