Approach to care

I believe that nutrition care should be tailored to the individual, reflecting their unique needs, goals, and lifestyle. My approach integrates clinical expertise with compassionate, patient-centered care. I focus on educating and empowering my clients to make sustainable dietary changes while addressing both physical symptoms and the emotional challenges that often accompany GI conditions. Together, we’ll create a practical, personalized plan to help you feel your best.

Your first session with Alicia

Our first session lays the foundation for your care. I’ll take time to understand your medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, and health goals, while reviewing relevant labs or records. This session is collaborative, focusing on your concerns, answering questions, and creating a tailored plan to meet your needs. I value working with other healthcare professionals, such as GI specialists, to provide a comprehensive approach to your care. Together, we’ll develop effective, sustainable nutrition strategies to support your long-term health, ensuring you feel informed, supported, and confident.

Education

I earned my Bachelor’s in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Delaware and completed my Dietetic Internship at Tulane University, gaining hands-on experience in clinical, community, and outpatient nutrition. I’m also FODMAP-trained through Monash University, specializing in using this approach to help identify IBS triggers. Passionate about lifelong learning, I stay up to date with the latest research to provide the best possible care for my clients.

Hobbies

Outside of my work, I love staying active in nature, whether walking my dog or riding my horse. I’m passionate about food—exploring new restaurants, traveling, and experimenting with recipes at home. I also enjoy keeping up with the latest research in nutrition and gut health, finding inspiration in new discoveries. Whether exploring new places or embracing life’s simple joys, I strive to stay curious and connected.
