About Erika
Hi! I am Erika, a dietitian passionate about helping you navigate the world of nutrition in a way that makes you feel comfortable and confident! I am a California native and I moved out to Arizona about 5 years ago. I completed my associate's degree in Psychology with my Bachelor's and Master's degree in Nutrition Science. With this background in education, I feel I have a well-rounded approach to nutrition counseling that focuses on both the science of nutrition and the understanding of how people learn and create change. My husband and I have a rescue dog named Kona who is a terrier mix. We love taking her for walks and there is nothing she loves more than good treats, throwing the ball and a nice afternoon nap.
Approach to care
My approach centers on collaboration, personalization, and long-term habit building. I strive to understand not just what you want to achieve, but why you want to achieve it. I am committed to meeting you exactly where you are. Instead of rigid plans or overwhelming changes, I focus on small, achievable steps that build confidence and momentum.
Your first session with Erika
As I do my best to meet you where you are at, in our first session together, expect to go through your history, some of your goals, any limitations you may have and your motivations for change. I work with you to set small, achievable goals with you as we start working together to build confidence and start making changes where you feel they are most important. First sessions may include education regarding management of some conditions as well.
