About Tamara
I've been an oncology dietitian for 17 years, 15 of those as a credentialled specialist in oncology nutrition. I am dedicated to working with folks in active treatment, helping to manage their barriers to eating and drinking. I also work with survivors (thrivers!) to develop goals for decreasing their risk of recurrence, rebuild their health, and create a nutrition plan that is sustainable. In addition to oncology, I also work with individuals interested in considering low carbohydrate and ketogenic diet therapies for a variety of concerns including neurological, mild cognitive impairment, pre-diabetes and T2 diabetes, among others; as well as general healthy nutrition.
Approach to care
My approaches to care include accountability, helping my clients set realistic goals, and utilizing research to guide best practices. I have worked diligently to learn how to be a good listener, to ask relevant questions, to let my clients lead the way in establishing their goals and providing personalized tools and support needed for success. Together we can develop a plan to help you nourish, heal, and flourish.
Your first session with Tamara
In your first session, I'd like to learn more about you and share some things about me as well. We'll start talking about your nutrition history and take a look at some goals. I'd like to help you develop a couple of interventions as we get started on your journey.
