About Allison
I am a Miami-based Registered Dietitian passionate about promoting health and wellness through translating evidence-based nutrition science and instilling a joyful approach to food in my sessions. I understand the importance of creating a compassionate relationship with food, mind, and body to support overall physical, emotional, and mental health. My experience extends to various levels of care and serving a variety of patient populations including outpatient, acute inpatient, partial hospitalization, pediatrics, eating disorders and disordered eating, general wellness, heart health, and diabetes management.
Approach to care
My approach with clients is personalized and individualized to fit their needs, goals, lifestyle, medical status, and financial resources. Therefore, my sessions are based on building a foundational relationship with my clients to better understand how their needs and goals can be implemented into their daily life to create the lasting, sustainable behavior change they want. I use motivational interviewing and SMART goal setting to help you stay accountable and build on your goals each session. My nutrition counseling approach is centered around intuitive and mindful eating philosophies and weight-neutrality to strengthen your mind-body connection.
Your first session with Allison
During the first session my focus is to get to know you, your health and nutrition history, goals, habits, needs, challenges, and barriers. In our time gathering information, we can develop a clear action plan with both short-term and long-term goals for the future.
