About Carleen
Hi, Iām Carleen! Iām a Registered Dietitian passionate about helping people build a healthier relationship with food while reaching their goals. Whether youāre looking to manage diabetes, improve heart health, navigate life after bariatric surgery, or lose weight in a sustainable way, Iām here to guide you with a patient-centered approach thatās all about you. Iām 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 isnāt just about numbers, itās about how you feel and live every day. I believe that food should be both nourishing and enjoyable, and Iām excited to help you find that balance in your own life.
Approach to care
I provide patient-centered, judgment-free care thatās tailored to your lifestyle, culture, and food preferences. My goal is to make nutrition realistic and enjoyable while helping you reach your health goals. Weāll work together to create lasting habitsāfocusing on progress, not perfection.
Your first session with Carleen
During our first session, weāll focus on getting to know you (your health history, lifestyle, goals, and any challenges youāve faced with food or nutrition.) Iāll 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.
