Patient reviews
βDebra has been so amazing! She's attentive, and listens to any of my concerns or questions. She has helped me understand healthy food routes, she sends me educational links to better inform me of nutrition, and health and even how to use this app to it's full and best ability. I love having someone so supportive even in my own life style and so helpful as Debra has been. 10 out of 10 recommend! β

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 several areas of nutrition over my career, I have specialized in the Oncology population over the past 8 years. This has equipped me to best serve those looking to follow a predominantly plant based diet, achieve and maintain a healthy weight, and/or manage their enteral nutrition regimens. Because those with an active cancer diagnosis, or cancer history, often have other chronic illnesses I have continued to refine my skill in various other areas which are included in my list of specialities.
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 sustainable healthy way.
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 session we will have begun to develop an individualized plan to help you reach your health goals. I do usually send you home with a little homework to work on before our next session.
