About Erica

Hi! I’m Erica, a dietitian who knows that managing your health can feel overwhelming. I understand how confusing and frustrating it can be to navigate chronic conditions on your own. My goal is to empower you to take control of your health through simple, realistic, evidence-based nutrition strategies that fit into your busy life. While my clinical focus is kidney disease nutrition for adults and children, I have experience helping patients manage a wide range of conditions. Whether you're working to protect your kidneys, balance your blood sugar, or simply feel more energized every day, I’m here to guide you with a personalized plan and support you every step of the way.

Approach to care

My approach to care is non-judgmental, collaborative, and fully personalized. I believe nutrition is deeply individual- every body is different, and there’s no ā€œone-size-fits-allā€ solution. My counseling style is empathetic, supportive, and rooted in the latest nutrition science, blending clinical expertise with real-world strategies to help you succeed. Together, we’ll develop a practical plan that feels achievable, motivating, and, most importantly, sustainable. And if something isn’t working? No problem! I’m a big believer in flexible guidelines that work with your life, not against it. We'll adjust as needed to keep you moving forward.

Your first session with Erica

During our first session, I’ll take the time to learn about your health history, goals, lifestyle, and what matters most to you. I believe in asking thoughtful questions and truly understanding your unique needs, preferences, and challenges. Together, we’ll explore what’s been working, what hasn’t, and begin crafting a tailored plan. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, ensuring you have the time and support you need to feel confident. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with clear, actionable steps and a sense of clarity and motivation for the road ahead.
