About Charisse
I am a registered and licensed dietitian from South Texas. I graduated from the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley with a Bachelor's degree in Dietetics. I have been a dietitian for 8 years and have worked as a retail dietitian and in the outpatient setting. Living in South Texas, I have worked with a predominately Hispanic population helping patients manage chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, CVD, thyroid disease, HTN, and SLD. Also, I have had exposure to various eating disorders, GI disorders, including IBS, food sensitivities and allergies, and diverticulosis, and sports-specific nutrition throughout my time as an outpatient dietitian. As a part-time Nourish dietitian, I am available each week on Tuesdays from 9am-7pm CST and Wednesdays from 9am-6pm CST.
Approach to care
My counseling approach focuses on individualized recommendations for long-term, mindful dietary and lifestyle changes. I appreciate all feedback, especially as an opportunity for personal and professional growth, and have full faith in the success of a collaborative approach to health and wellness.
Your first session with Charisse
Our first session will begin with introductions and understanding why you've chosen the Nourish Program. Also, we will review medical and diet history, including any chronic diseases, current medications and supplements, dieting history, and lifestyle habits. With this information, we will begin to build your personalized plan of care to meet your short and long-term health-related goals.
