Background
Welcome!
I'm a compassionate and thoughtful dietitian who believes achieving your goals starts with shifting your mindset, building confidence in your choices, and creating sustainable habits.
My career has taken me through hospitals, outpatient clinics, and community health programs. I've worked with people navigating complex medical conditions, women during pregnancy and through postpartum, and infants and pediatric patients. These experiences have shaped how I practice today and reinforced my belief that nutrition is never one-size-fits-all.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Nutritional Sciences with a minor in Psychology from the University of Arizona. I've always been interested in the connection between how we think and the choices we make, which is why mindset and behavior change play such an important role in my counseling.
My passion for nutrition is also personal. Growing up, I saw firsthand how chronic health conditions affected my family. It made me realize how important access to nutrition education really is. I believe that understanding how food impacts our health can help reduce the risk of chronic conditions. That's what I love most about being a dietitian: helping people build the knowledge and confidence to take charge of their health.
Outside of sessions, you can usually find me taking a Pilates class, strength training, or enjoying a long walk around Seattle. Family is a big part of my life, and coming from a large Hispanic family, food has always been a way to connect and bring people together. I love cooking traditional family recipes, exploring Seattle's diverse food scene, and finding new coffee shops with a good pastry.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you and being part of your journey!
