Patient reviews
“Debra is wonderful. I have been meeting with her for about 1.5 months at this point and have really built a great relationship with her. She has helped me to shed weight at a healthy and maintainable pace. She is also incredibly informative about macros to meet my goals. “

“Debra has helped me with my weight post thyroidectomy. My body had stopped working the way it used to. Debra has been an invaluable resource for me to navigate this new terrain in my life. She is incredibly knowledgeable, ready and willing to research anything to help further the conversation and to empower me with the resources to make smart choices for my situation. She is empathetic, enthusiastic and success oriented. I fully recommend her as a solid partner for your dietician needs. “

“Debra has been an exceptional dietician. She provides practical advice and resources that fit a teacher’s busy schedule, and her patience has been a gift as I recover from a fractured vertebra. With her expertise in acute care and rehab, she’s helped me maintain my weight loss by suggesting quick, healthy, and accessible meals. I’m so thankful to have found the perfect dietician for me!“

About Debra
First and foremost I am a mother of 3 beautiful children and retired military spouse. I am also a licensed Registered Dietitian with 2 decades of experience. While I have practiced in nearly all areas of nutrition over my career, I have found the most reward in helping individuals gain a better grasp on how to adequately nourish their bodies while improving or maintaining a healthy relationship with food and their body. Having lived and worked across the country, it has provided me the experience to help people from all backgrounds follow and sustain a healthy diet.

Approach to care
My approach to care is to meet you where you are, and include you in every step along the way. While there is scientific evidence supporting certain methods more than others, that we will be sure to discuss, I believe all of us are individuals and can achieve the results we desire in different ways. Many times you may know what that might be better than me, especially because you are the expert of your own body! I am here to support you, guiding you to reach your goals in a healthy and sustainable way. Much of my approach emphasizes focusing on macronutrient distribution, quality of what we consume, and supporting the preservation of lean body mass.
Your first session with Debra
Our first session together will be spent getting to know each other. I want to fully understand your history and why you chose to seek out and follow through with nutrition counseling. My goal is to gain your trust and confidence in my abilities to help you achieve desired outcomes. By the end of our session we will have begun to develop an individualized plan to help you reach your health goals. This will start with some short term goals to work on prior to our next session.
