About Michelle

Howdy, I’m Michelle and I am a Registered Dietitian and a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist based in Texas. My professional career began in a clinical role as the sole dietitian at UTMB Angleton, and as a supplemental dietitian at UTMB Clear Lake and UTMB League City in the Houston Metro area. I currently work in an endocrinologist office, where I specialize in management of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pump management, and individualized nutrition care.

Approach to care

I break nutrition down into simple, practical steps that make change feel manageable, not overwhelming. My goal is to help you make small, lasting changes that fit your life and move you closer to your health goals. Whether you're dealing with a new diagnosis, balancing a million things, or just fed up with one-size-fits-all advice, I’m here to meet you where you are. I mix science-backed tips with a lot of empathy and real-life strategies that work—no matter how busy you are. I bring a unique perspective and empathy to my practice, having seen firsthand the challenges of managing diabetes through several family members who live with both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes.

Your first session with Michelle

We’ll start by getting to know each other. I’ll ask about your eating habits, physical activity, and overall lifestyle — including your daily routine, stressors, and any challenges you’ve faced with making changes in the past. We’ll talk about what’s worked for you before, what hasn’t, and what you’re open to trying now. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and create a plan that feels doable and sustainable for you.
