About Alex
Hi! My name is Alex and I have been a registered dietitian for the past 3 years! During the majority of this time, I have worked at Magnolia Creek, a residential eating disorder facility located in Birmingham, AL. I have a heart for ED patients and see myself continuing to care for this specific patient population through Nourish. I come from a military family, and moved all over the United States. I enjoy meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. My first job as a dietitian was in Honduras where I volunteered in an outpatient facility for a wide range of nutritional concerns. I am also a new mama to my son and loving every minute of it!
Approach to care
I use a weight-neutral approach when caring for patients. It is not about the number on the scale, but how you feel! I incorporate intuitive eating principles, motivational interviewing, and CBT into my counseling sessions. I also incorporate faith into sessions for clients who are interested. I encourage holistic wellness and utilize the 8 dimensions of wellness when considering overall wellness.
Your first session with Alex
In our first session, I will conduct a comprehensive nutrition assessment to tailor a nutritional plan, specific to your needs. We will establish short-term and long-term goals and I'll use this time as an opportunity to get to know you, your specific needs, and what you hope to gain from the program.
