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 7 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, diverticulosis, UC, and Crohn's disease, and sports-specific nutrition throughout my time as an outpatient dietitian.
Approach to care
My counseling approach focuses on individualized recommendations for long-term, mindful dietary and lifestyle changes.
Your first session with Charisse
