About Ericka

Hi, I'm Ericka! I'm a Registered Dietitian with four years of experience, and I hold an MS in Nutritional Science from Texas Tech University. I've spent time in clinical and hospital settings, where I learned that science and compassion belong in the same room. I'm passionate about helping people heal their relationship with food, and I love turning complex nutrition science into practical, everyday choices. When I'm not working, you'll find me hiking, riding my bike, or enjoying a good movie. I'm grateful to support you on your journey as your RD!

Approach to care

My care philosophy is grounded in evidence-based science and warm, educational support. I'll walk with you as a teammate, translating research into realistic steps you can actually stick to. I practice a weight-neutral, Health At Every Size approach that honors your values, mental health, and lifestyle. Together we'll set goals that feel doable, measure progress beyond a scale, and celebrate small wins. My aim is lasting change, not quick fixes, and I'm committed to meeting you where you are with empathy, patience, and clear guidance.

Your first session with Ericka

Our first appointment is all about you. We'll review your medical history, talk through your relationship with food, and review any lab work or biometrics that matter to your goals. I want you to feel safe and heard, not judged, and I'll ask questions at a pace that suits you. Remember, you don't need to have it all figured out before we meet. Together we'll map out a couple of realistic next steps and set you up with a clear sense of direction for our next conversation.
