About Mary

Nutrition has been my life's work for fifty years. I hold an MS in Nutrition from UC Berkeley and the University of New Mexico and practice as an RDN with experience across hospital clinical settings, private practice, research and academia, and community health. I love helping patients understand how their diets can be adjusted to meet their needs and fit into real life. When I'm off the clock you'll often find me biking, playing tennis, swimming, skiing, or planning my next trip.

Approach to care

Evidence guides everything I recommend, while compassion guides the conversation. I practice from a Health At Every Size perspective, focusing on behaviors and sustainable habits instead of weight or quick fixes. Together we'll translate current research into clear, manageable steps, and I will teach you practical skills so changes stick. My aim is to offer direct, action-oriented plans delivered in a warm, judgment-free space that honors the whole person.

Your first session with Mary

I aim to create a relaxed, thorough conversation where we'll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics, and take a deep look at your relationship with food. We'll set short-term, achievable goals and begin to craft a meal plan that fits your preferences and lifestyle. You don't need to have everything figured out beforehand, we'll move at a pace that feels right and build practical next steps together.
