About David
Hello, I am a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator. I am passionate about nutrition; my focus is helping clients create a healthy long-term relationship with food on the way to achieving your goals. Focusing on lifestyle and creating a path to feeling confident in your body, enjoying the foods you love and finally breaking away from diets and diet culture. I believe that learning to enjoy all foods without any
Approach to care
My approach is meeting my clients where they are in life, with work, childcare and the constant curve balls life throws, finding small changes that are easy to manage but will have a meaningful impact down the road is the key to long term success. Provide simple tips and idea shifts that will help you see food and nutrition in a different way; focusing on teaching my clients how to improve their nutrition in a way that is realistic and achievable.
Your first session with David
During our first session, we will talk about what brings you in, what your goals are and what your current lifestyle looks like. We will walk through your prior history with food and dieting, discuss your current eating pattern, food preferences and schedule. Together we will then create some simple goals to focus on that will lead you towards achieving the healthy long-term lifestyle you have been looking for.
Education
I completed my Bachelor's degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, graduating with honors and then completed my Dietetic Internship at Virginia Tech. I have also obtained my Diabetes Educator Certification.
Hobbies
I love to go dancing, reading a new book, working-out or trying a new restaurant.
