About Patty

Hi, I'm Patty. I'm so happy to connect with you! I was drawn to become a dietitian when I was in college. I was 20, when I lost my Mom to cancer. As you can imagine, that was a life-changing event, at a very pivotal time. Supporting my mom and family through that transition, was not just difficult... It was also one of the greatest gifts of my life. I found my calling. I want to help patients and families find a healthier lifestyle through nutrition. And I see it happen every day. My career began working with patients in healthcare. I worked hands on with: children with Type 1 DM (Diabetes), patients with ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease), patients post cardiac surgery, and those with GI disfunction and auto-immune diseases. As my career progressed, I leaned more into Sports Nutrition and became a Board Certified Sports Dietitian - helping professional and collegiate athletes fuel for performance.

Approach to care

I would love to connect with you. My main goal is to support you. When we meet, we will explore your goals (aka - the reason we are connecting). I am dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. And I will provide feedback and insights along the way. You are not alone.

Your first session with Patty

During our first session, I would like to learn more about you - your medical history, lifestyle, nutrition needs, and your personal goals. I will assess medical records (if provided) and biometrics. And I would love to discuss (and/or determine) any short-term and long-term goals that you may have. My role, is to be your coach. And I am here to help and guide you along the way. I want you to feel empowered.
