Background
I received my B.S. from the University of Texas at Austin and my M.S. from California State University at Los Angeles. I have been a Clinical Dietitian for the past 36 years, including work in hospital settings and dialysis clinics.
I have provided nutritional care for a wide- range of conditions. While working with patients with kidney failure, I became aware of the fact that so many of these patients could have avoided or postponed dialysis if they had received proper nutritional care earlier in their disease process.
In my personal life I have successfully utilized food to fully eliminate my joint pain and gastrointestinal ailments so that I can more actively engage in my interests which include gardening, reading, music and exercise.

Approach
"I strongly believe that food has the potential to improve certain medical conditions. The concept of food as vital medicine should not be taken lightly. Every individual's body is unique. I am dedicated to knowing and understanding my patients' particular needs. Together, working collectively with my patients, I seek to develop an individualized nutrition plan that is functional and practical for my clients."
