About Abigail
Hello and welcome! I have been a Dietitian since 2018 and have experience working with clients from birth to adulthood, taking a family-centered approach. You are the expert in *you* (or your child), and I am a nutrition professional β together, we can make a plan to meet your goals. With adults, I have experience counseling for general health and wellness, diabetes, heart disease, pre/postnatal nutrition, breastfeeding, and intuitive eating. In pediatrics, I have experience working with premature & full term infants, starting solids, picky eating, tube feeding weaning, Cleft and Craniofacial disorders, Spina Bifida, Prader Willi Syndrome, and general weight concerns (loss or gain).
Approach to care
I practice with a patient- and/or family-centered approach to care; thus, I will respect your experiences and desires, and we will create a plan together to reach your goals. I will use evidenced-based research and behavioral science to shape my nutrition recommendations and our conversations. We will work on small, sustainable steps toward improving your current quality of life. At the end of each session, itβs my goal that you feel equipped and empowered β knowing you have me in your corner cheering you on!
Your first session with Abigail
Our first session will include time to get to know each other and discuss your main concerns. I will review your past medical history and other pertinent health information. We will create a plan for our work together going forward and begin working toward your goals as time allows.
