About Desiree
Hi, I'm Desiree, a Registered Dietitian with 15 years of experience and an MS in Nutritional Science. I've worked in clinical and hospital settings, private practice, community health, and renal dialysis centers, which gives me a broad view of how nutrition intersects health. I bring a science-based, empathetic approach to every client, translating evidence into practical steps you can actually live with. When I'm not working, I love hiking with my two little girls, cooking, hot yoga, and Pilates, chasing balance between family and health.
Approach to care
My care philosophy blends evidence-based science with warmth and collaboration. I meet you where you are and translate complex nutrition into doable action. We’ll explore your relationship with food, your values, and your daily rhythm to create sustainable changes that last. I practice with a holistic, weight-neutral, HAES-informed lens and an educational mindset so you feel empowered to make informed choices. My goal is long-term health built on habits, not quick fixes, and to support you every step of the way.
Your first session with Desiree
Our first appointment is a warm, collaborative conversation about you. We’ll establish short-term goals, do a deep dive into your relationship with food, and review your medical history. You don’t need to have it all figured out yet; think of this as a partnership where we sketch a realistic plan together. I’ll listen without judgment, ask the right questions, and help translate your experiences into practical steps. By the end, you’ll feel clear about the next steps we’ll take together.
