I am a registered and licensed dietitian in the state of Texas, with an M.S. in Nutrition and Dietetics from Louisiana Tech University. I began my career working in the clinical environment with acute-care patients whose nutritional needs varied widely—from developing ICU tube-feeding formulations for critically ill patients to providing heart-healthy nutrition education. I have always been drawn to nutrition, science, anatomy and physiology, and most importantly, helping people.
After meeting my husband, Ryan, we moved to the Houston area and began raising our large family of five children. I have cherished my years volunteering in the community and managing our busy home, but I am excited to now bring my experience and passion for nutrition to helping clients.
Nutrition is more than my profession—it is something I genuinely love. I am an avid recipe tester and enjoy cooking, creating practical meals, and finding realistic ways to make healthy eating work for busy families. I bring clinical experience, practical tips, and common-sense strategies that can benefit your entire family.
I am also completing advanced training through the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), with my Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner (FMCP) credential nearly complete. This additional training strengthens my science-based, root-cause approach to nutrition and personalized health, allowing me to look beyond individual nutrition concerns and consider the bigger picture of health and lifestyle.
During our consultation, I will take the time to understand your individual nutrition needs, health goals, preferences, and lifestyle. Because every client is different, I provide specific and personalized recommendations, practical strategies, and sample meal ideas that fit your life.
I do not believe in “never” foods. Instead, I encourage a focus on healthy habits and nourishing your body well most of the time. Food should be something you can enjoy without guilt. My goal is to help you develop confidence around food and feel equipped to make healthy choices in all of life’s situations.
While weight loss may be an important goal, I don't believe nutrition should be focused solely on numbers or counting. I prefer to focus on practical strategies that can help you feel more energetic and healthy while giving you the tools to support long-term health and disease prevention.
Diet programs do not last. Lifestyle changes do. Be nourished.
