About Clara
Hello! My name is Clara and I am a registered dietitian (RD) in Austin, Texas. I completed my bachelor's and master's degree in Nutrition at Texas State University as well as my dietetic internship. During my internship, I developed a passion for counseling and helping my patients improve their health and achieve their goals. As a counselor, I focus on intuitive eating and taking a non-weight centered approach to food and nutrition. I believe that all foods can fit into a healthy diet, and together we can create a personalized plan to help you achieve your goals.
Approach to care
I believe that providing holistic and patient-centered care is the best way to approach each session. While we will focus on food and nutrition, I will also consider other aspects regarding your health like sleep hygiene, stress, and, movement. I want you to feel empowered to take control of your health journey, with myself as your guide. Together, we can tackle barriers you are facing and set attainable goals. There is no need to worry about how big or small your goals are, I am here to support you in the ways you need. I respect everyone's individuality and appreciate the things that makes each and every one of us unique!
Your first session with Clara
In our first session together, you can expect for us to dive into your food and nutrition history, including your previous dietary habits, current dietary habits, any relevant lab results (if available), and any relevant medical history. We will also go over barriers you may encounter to achieving your goals and brainstorm solutions together. At the end of our session, we will set goals and go over actionable items to achieve your goals. Feel free to ask questions or bring up any concerns as they arise! I want you to feel comfortable and in control during our sessions together.
