About Christa

Hi, I’m Christa — a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (RD, CDCES) with over 25 years of experience helping people improve their health in a way that feels supportive, realistic, and sustainable. I specialize in diabetes and prediabetes, weight management and obesity, hormonal health, and support for GLP-1 medications, bariatric surgery, thyroid disorders, and menopause. I also work with heart health, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and gut health concerns such as IBS, GERD, celiac disease, and ulcerative colitis, as well as autoimmune conditions. I understand that health journeys are personal — and sometimes overwhelming. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and confident in the choices you make, without judgment or pressure.

Approach to care

My approach is personalized, compassionate, and collaborative. There is no one-size-fits-all plan here. Together, we’ll focus on intuitive eating and building trust with food, practical meal planning that fits your lifestyle, personalized macros when structure is helpful and improving your relationship with food while supporting your medical needs. Whether you’re managing Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, navigating weight loss medications, working toward heart health, or addressing gut or hormonal concerns, we’ll create a plan that feels doable and aligned with your goals. Progress doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful.

Your first session with Christa

We’ll take time to talk through your health history, goals, and current challenges. We will review labs, medications, and lifestyle factors and identify what feels hardest right now — and what feels most important to change. You’ll leave your first session with clear, realistic next steps, a personalized plan you can actually start using based on defined personal goals, supportive guidance — not to overwhelm. Most importantly, you’ll have a partner who is here to support you, encourage you, and help you build confidence in your health decisions over time.
