About Abigail

Hi, I'm Abby. I'm a Registered Dietitian with five years of experience and a MS in Nutrition & Dietetics from MSU Denver. I've had the privilege of working in clinical and hospital settings, private practice, and sports nutrition, and I love how food intersects with everyday life. My credentials include RD and CPT. I bring science-based guidance with a warm, collaborative approach. Outside the office, you'll find me hiking, running, or lifting weights. I'm passionate about helping people feel their best and achieve their goals!

Approach to care

My care philosophy centers on evidence-based, empathetic guidance that meets you where you are. I combine science with a direct, action-oriented plan that gives you clear steps and accountability, while staying warm and non-judgmental. I focus on sustainable behaviors rather than quick fixes. I view you as a whole person, considering stress, sleep, relationships with food, and daily routines. Together, we'll translate science into practical steps you can actually take to support lasting change.

Your first session with Abigail

Our first appointment is all about you. We'll review your medical history, talk through your relationship with food, and establish short-term goals that feel doable. We won't expect you to have it all figured out ahead of time; this is a collaborative conversation designed to put you at ease. We'll explore your routines, challenges, and preferences, and by the end you'll have a clear plan and 1-2 concrete steps to start. I want you to feel supported, not overwhelmed, from day one.
