About Heather

Hi, I am Heather, a compassionate and evidenced-driven Registered Dietitian, dedicated to helping clients build a healthier relationship with food and their body. After earning a MS in Nutrition from California State University, Northridge and a BS from the University of Arizona, I have spent more than a decade working as a Registered Dietitian across hospital, inpatient, community health, residential, and outpatient settings. The past five years, I have focused on behavioral health, with an emphasis on the connection between physical and mental well-being. I enjoy talking walks, reading, and spending time with family, experiences that help keep my recommendations practical and rooted in everyday life. I am dedicated to helping clients develop sustainable eating habits that support health and overall well-being.

Approach to care

I use a client-centered, trauma-informed approach to combine nutrition and behavior strategies, creating personalized sustainable plans that respect each person's unique experiences and goals. I support clients with a balance of evidence and empathy. We'll work together in a judgment-free space to set clear, actionable steps, and I’ll help you build skills you can maintain long term. I take a whole-person approach-considering mood and daily routines-while focusing on education so that you can make informed, confident, and sustainable choices.

Your first session with Heather

Expect a warm, low-pressure conversation where we'll explore your relationship with food, review relevant medical history, and talk about what matters most to you. We'll identify one or two short-term goals together so you leave with clear, manageable next steps rather than feeling overwhelmed. We'll work collaboratively, at your pace, to map a sustainable path forward.
