About Carleen
Hi, I’m Carleen! I’m a Registered Dietitian passionate about helping people build a healthier relationship with food while reaching their goals. Whether you’re looking to manage diabetes, improve heart health, navigate life after bariatric surgery, or lose weight in a sustainable way, I’m here to guide you with a patient-centered approach that’s all about you. I’m fluent in Spanish and love connecting with people from all backgrounds, and am culturally sensitive to your food preferences and traditions. My experience spans outpatient weight loss counseling, health coaching, maternal health through WIC, and working with clients on intuitive eating. Health isn’t just about numbers, it’s about how you feel and live every day. I believe that food should be both nourishing and enjoyable, and I’m excited to help you find that balance in your own life.
Approach to care
I provide patient-centered, judgment-free care that’s tailored to your lifestyle, culture, and food preferences. My goal is to make nutrition realistic and enjoyable while helping you reach your health goals. We’ll work together to create lasting habits—focusing on progress, not perfection.
Your first session with Carleen
During our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you (your health history, lifestyle, goals, and any challenges you’ve faced with food or nutrition.) I’ll ask about your eating habits, medical background, and personal preferences (including cultural and favorite foods) so we can create a plan that truly fits your life.
