About Me

I received my B.S in Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Texas at Austin and my M.S in Nutrition at California State University, Los Angeles. With over 35 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate the complexities of nutrition and health with clarity and compassion. My background includes decades of hands-on clinical experience in hospitals and dialysis clinics, where I developed expertise in medical nutrition therapy, especially for chronic kidney disease, diabetes, heart disease, and gastrointestinal ailments.

I understand that food is deeply personal. Food is not just about calories and nutrients, but about culture, comfort, emotions and everyday life. My approach goes beyond meal plans and food lists; it is about building a collaborative relationship where clients are heard and empowered to make meaningful and lasting changes.

Whether you are managing a health condition, feeling overwhelmed by conflicting nutritional information, or simply want to feel better in your body, I will meet you where you are at. Together we collaborate and set realistic goals to support sustainable progress, not perfection. I believe that small steps can lead to big changes and that success looks different for everyone. No matter your health journey, I am here to assist you in feeling more empowered and at peace with food.
