About Leslie

Hi, I’m Leslie. I’m a Registered Dietitian based in Houston with two years of experience in clinical and hospital settings, including renal dialysis. I earned my BS in Nutritional Sciences from Texas A&M University and I practice with the RD credential and the LD designation. Outside of work, I love connecting with friends after church, spending time with my four kids and husband, staying active with Pilates, and enjoying a lazy river day. I’m here to support your health with warmth and realism.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is simple and collaborative. I ground every plan in current research while honoring your lived experience, preferences, and goals. I practice with empathy and warmth, inviting you to speak honestly and without judgment. I believe in weight-neutral, Health at Every Size thinking and focus on sustainable habits, not quick fixes. You’ll have practical tools, clear steps, and accountability, and I’ll walk beside you as we translate science into real life that sticks. I’m especially motivated to help people who have tried everything to lose weight.

Your first session with Leslie

Our first appointment is all about you. We’ll review your medical history, establish a few short term goals, and look over lab work and biometrics together or order lab work. We’ll also take a deep dive into your relationship with food in a safe, nonjudgmental space. No need to have it all figured out before we meet. Just come as you are, and we’ll begin to map realistic, personalized next steps (small steps) that fit your life.
