Background

Hello and welcome! My name is Elizabeth and I am a registered dietitian (RD) from Santa Cruz, CA, with over 15 years of experience in the field of nutrition and dietetics. I hold a Master’s degree in Nutrition & Family and Consumer Sciences from California State University Northridge, and completed a rigorous dietetic internship at CSU Northridge. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in History from UCLA.

With a passion for promoting health and wellness, I specialize in general nutrition, weight management, diabetes, eating disorders, intuitive eating, gastrointestinal disorders, oncology, cardiac disorders, and pediatric nutrition. I believe nutrition is a vital component of overall health and strive to empower you through personalized nutrition plans and education.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, private practice, community programs, and long-term care facilities. My approach is therapeutic in nature. I create a non-judgmental safe space for you using motivational interviewing, evidence-based practices and active listening with a compassionate understanding of your unique needs, lifestyle and goals.

When not working with you, I enjoy being a parent, exercise, dabbling in interior design, live music, the arts, cooking, fine wine, travel and my cat Boo. I believe in leading by example and practice healthy living in my own life.

In the first session, I will explore what you are hoping to get out of your visits with a Registered Dietitian. I will get to know you, your past medical history, food preferences, habits, lifestyle, symptoms, goals and more. I will then work to piece together a realistic plan that will work for you.

I am committed to helping you achieve your health goals through informed nutritional choices. I believe in the healthy lifestyle approach: that the ‘inclusion of all food’ mindset is liberating and healthy thereby shifting the perspective and relationship to food & creating a pathway for new habits that are both nutritious, sustainable & enjoyable.
