About Alexa
I am a registered dietitian with a passion for promoting long-term health and wellness. Over the years, I have gained valuable experience in the nutrition industry working with patients from ages 2 to 105 years old and across the entire spectrum of health and disease. My philosophy goes beyond health at any size (HAES) as I believe you can take steps toward improving your health and quality of life at any health level, age, or weight status. My goal is to support the metabolic, functional, and mental health of my patients in a compassionate, yet effective manner.
Approach to care
I believe that creating healthy habits is about more than just willpower and motivation. It is about understanding the science behind nutrition and empowering individuals to take control of their health. My approach to nutrition counseling and education is grounded in evidence-based practices and focuses on giving you the tools and resources you need to make informed decisions about your health and wellness. Whether you have specific medical concerns or want to improve and optimize your overall health, I am here to support you every step of the way.
Your first session with Alexa
On our first visit, we will dive into your personal history with nutrition, health concerns, and challenges that have brought you to see me. We may go into family medical history, recent labs and trends, social history with food and wellness, lifestyle practices, and establish goals in seeking nutrition counseling. This is our first time meeting so let's get to know one another; my goal is for you to feel comfortable so you know that we're starting this journey as a team.
