About Christina

Being a dietitian means the world to me. I am always eager to apply my knowledge and personal experiences to aid those who, like myself, are longing to heal from various nutrition-related health conditions. A few fun things! - I grew up in the suburbs of New Orleans which heavily influenced my love for food! I am one of four children, and the only girl. My fiancé and I have collectively rescued five pups which some say is too many but we (I) feel is just right! I’m a former LSU Tiger and still a big fan. I am incredibly nostalgic.

Approach to care

My sessions are always laid back and judgement free--I want you to feel relaxed and supported. I balance empathy with honesty and accountability because while I want your goals to be attainable, I also aim for them to produce genuinely transformative outcomes. The focus, however, will be on how you feel--your energy, mindset, mood, and overall well-being--rather than on weight or appearance. Those changes will come! What is truly important is finding lasting motivation, joy, balance, and peace.

Your first session with Christina

I use our first session as an opportunity to, first, get to know you! To help you feel at ease, I may start by telling you a bit about myself. Then, I sit back and listen with care as you tell me everything from how your week has been to what motivated you to seek out a dietitian. Once introductions and medical history are covered, we will briefly review your current regimen so, together, we can figure out where to begin. We will wrap up our initial session by setting realistic, sustainable goals that we monitor in the sessions to come!

Hobbies

If I could, I would fill all of my days with outdoor activities, time with my loved ones, painting, reading, playing with my pups, and cooking delicious homemade meals (including dessert)! Over the last few years, I've also gotten really into "fixer-upper" projects around my home and crafting. This year, I hope to get (back) into running and start a vegetable garden!
