About Andrea

Hi there! My name is Andrea and I've been a Registered Dietitian since 2013. I started my career in an acute care hospital in Los Angeles, California. I worked as a Clinical Dietitian on the hospital floors for 6 years, seeing patients with a wide range of conditions and chronic diseases. I then became the Lead Dietitian for 3 years where I was able to help patients in a boarder way, by rewriting policies and procedures, to rewriting all 26 of the therapeutic diets. Here in San Diego I worked for an insurance company that services the low-income, elderly. I joined Nourish because I wanted to be able to use my skill set in a one-on-one educational setting.

Approach to care

I really try to offer a variety of techniques because we are all such different learners. Whether it be auditory, visual, or teaching back styles I always try to go above and beyond to ensure my participants understand not only WHAT I am teaching, but also WHY to give rationale and purpose to our goals. Luckily Nourish is able to provide excellent teaching materials and recipes!

Your first session with Andrea

I would like for you to do most of the talking in our first session! Tell me everything you think I need to know about you and your lifestyle and current nutrition habits. There is never any judgment. Food is such a deeply personal and sensitive topic I will try my best to make you feel safe and respected during all of our conversations.
