Background

Hi! I’m a bilingual Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN, LDN) with a passion for helping others feel their best through food and lifestyle. I provide compassionate, personalized nutrition counseling in both English and Spanish and have experience supporting clients with a wide range of chronic conditions, including heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, and eating disorders. When I’m not working, you can find me riding horses, traveling, or hanging out with my dog. I love animals, and fun fact—cucumbers are my favorite fruit, and I’m a big fan of pickles!
