About Maria
Hi, I am Maria! I have been a dietitian for 3.5 years now. As a dietitian, I have an extensive background in both inpatient and outpatient nutrition working with patients with diabetes, weight management, malnutrition, organ failure and disease, gastrointestinal diseases and so much more. I am also certified in nutrition support (tube feeding and IV feedings/TPN). I have worked with lots of patients with long term and short term nutrition support. Outside of work, I love to be outdoors, cook, and connect with friends.
Approach to care
My approach to care is very individualized. I want to help you meet your goals and needs. I think nutrition is not a 1 sized fits all plan. I love to be a resource for nutrition guidance so that you can feel confident to run with changes that work for you and that are sustainable.
Your first session with Maria
In our first session, I like to first gather where you are coming into our appointment from with any past nutritional appointments or experiences. I want to build off what you have already tried, changed, or done. I will gather lots of background from you and then work with you to build a plan with obtainable goals.
