About Carmen
Carmen has 12 years as an RD and experience in the hospital, community, and outpatient care. She has a passion for helping clients of all ages nourish themselves and their families in a way that supports not only physical, but mental and emotional health as well.
Approach to care
Are you tired of cutting out all your favorite foods just to eat the whole package a few weeks later? Are you ready to figure out what moderation actually means? Do you want to learn how to eat well to support your health and include your favorite foods, so this can be a long term and sustainable change? I'm here to help! We'll work together a team to understand how food impacts your body, and how your mind impacts your food choices - whether that is a history of dieting, food insecurity, ADHD, Autism, a combo of these, or something else entirely. We will work together toward sustainable changes and healthy habits you actually want to stick to.
Your first session with Carmen
In our first session I'll ask a lot of questions about your life to get to know you. To help make changes, I need to know where you're starting! Food impacts many aspects of our lives, and many aspects of our lives influence what foods we choose. We'll try to set 1 small and specific step to work on at the end of each session, and see you again soon for more support on working toward your goals.
