About Debra
I have been a clinical dietitian for 30 years. Over the course of my career, I have gained experience in various areas of dietetics, but I am most passionate about clinical nutrition, where I see the direct cause-and-effect relationship. I have witnessed firsthand how nutrition can be a powerful form of medicine. When I began my career, proving this was a significant challenge. As clinical dietitians, we believed deeply that nutrition is central to health. Today, many other professionals share this belief, and I’m proud to say I never wavered in my confidence. I invite you to join me on my journey toward better health and wellness through food and nutrition.
Approach to care
My approach to care is simple; let's work together to find what truly works for you and fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. We'll identify your needs, set realistic goals, and create a practical plan to achieve them. I believe in making small, sustainable changes over time, so that your goals are not only achievable but lasting for a lifetime.
Your first session with Debra
In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other and building a strong foundation for our relationship. I'll take the time to understand your health goals, as well as gather important information about your clinical, food, and symptom history. This will allow me to begin assessing your unique needs. Consider this a thorough "getting to know you" session, where we lay the groundwork for a personalized approach to your health and wellness.
