Background

I am a Registered Dietitian with over 7 years of clinical experience working with both kids and adults. I specialize in renal nutrition, pediatric care, and prenatal/postpartum support. My background includes 5.5 years in a pediatric hospital setting (inpatient and outpatient) and 2.5 years working with adults managing chronic conditions.

My approach is intuitive, evidence-based, and tailored to your real life—no strict rules or diets. Whether you're navigating kidney disease, feeding a picky eater, or adjusting to life before or after baby, I’m here to support you with compassion, expertise, and practical tools that work.

Clients can expect a supportive, judgment-free space where we focus on sustainable progress and building a healthy relationship with food. I also speak Spanish and love working with diverse families and individuals.
