About Donna

Hello! I'm Donna. I love being a Registered Dietitian and helping people improve their health. I specialize in weight management, emotional eating, heart health, and prediabetes/diabetes. I use medical nutrition therapy, nutrition education, and behavior change counseling to help you regain control over your health. When I’m not at Nourish, I practice at a family clinic and teach college students at UNLV. I'm looking forward to supporting you and helping you reach your health goals.

Approach to care

I provide the expertise, guidance, and resources to help you make changes that are effective and sustainable. I use the approach of small changes make a big difference in our health. We live in an instant gratification society and most people get frustrated if results do not happen quickly. While a few small changes may seem insignificant at first, they help you gain the momentum, confidence, and motivation to continue making changes that last. I meet you where you are and together, we create a plan that realistically fits your lifestyle and makes you feel successful. There are many ways to lose weight and be healthier—we will find the right approach that feels comfortable for you.

Your first session with Donna

It is very natural to feel nervous before our first session or that sharing your eating habits will lead to judgement. I promise you that is not true. I approach weight and nutrition in a non-judgmental, neutral way. I am compassionate and empathetic, and I provide supportive and evidenced-based guidance. I understand that food is so much more than fuel—it is comfort, culture, and social life. We will discuss your overall health goals and create realistic short-term goals to move you in a forward direction. No matter you are on your health journey, you will leave our session feeling empowered and confident.
