About Joshua

I’m a registered dietitian with extensive experience across various hospital settings, including rehab, ICU, and telemetry, helping patients from all walks of life. Since June 2019, I've specialized in end-stage renal disease, working with Fresenius and now DaVita, where I support individuals with chronic kidney disease in managing their diet to improve health outcomes. My diverse background allows me to bring a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to nutrition, tailored to each individual’s needs.

Approach to care

My approach to care is centered on you—your unique needs, goals, and preferences. I believe in building a strong, collaborative partnership, where we focus on creating sustainable, realistic changes that work for your lifestyle. I take a holistic view of health, combining evidence-based nutrition with compassion and support. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies, remove barriers, and celebrate progress at every step. My goal is to empower you to make informed choices that help you feel your best, long-term.
