About Laura

Hi, I’m Laura, and I’m grateful you’re here. I bring 10 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, with training from UT Southwestern Medical Center. My work spans clinical and hospital care, research and academia, and community health, and I’m proud to support people wherever they are on their nutrition journey. I hold postnominals RD, LD, CCTD, and I rely on evidence to guide my practice. When I’m not seeing patients, you'll find me hiking, baking, reading, or spending time with my family. I’m here to help you feel heard and supported.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is rooted in partnership, curiosity, and science. I believe in a collaborative approach where we'll explore your goals with honesty, kindness, and real world plans. I practice through an HAES lens, focusing on sustainable behaviors rather than quick fixes, and I tailor guidance to your life, preferences, and culture. You'll find me explaining the why behind recommendations and offering practical steps you can actually fit into your day. My aim is to empower you with knowledge while honoring your pace and your values.

Your first session with Laura

Our first appointment is all about you and your story. We'll review your medical history, lab work or biometrics if available, and talk about your short-term goals. There's no pressure to have everything figured out before we meet; think of it as a conversation where we get to know each other and map a realistic path forward. Together we'll identify 1 to 2 achievable next steps and set a plan that fits your routine, concerns, and life. You'll leave with clarity and confidence, knowing we'll work at your pace.
