About Tara

Talking about food and nutrition is where my passion lies. With three years as a registered dietitian and an MPH from Arizona State University, I combine clinical, community health, and nonprofit public health experience to support patients in Phoenix and beyond. As an RDN I enjoy problem solving with practical, science-backed strategies, whether that looks like tailoring a meal plan, simplifying grocery routines, or celebrating a good run. Off the clock you'll find me running, cooking, or catching up on TV.

Approach to care

Sustainable change comes from small, research-backed steps that actually fit your life. I ground recommendations in current science while keeping our work warm and nonjudgmental. We'll focus on behaviors over quick fixes or diet culture, using a weight-neutral lens so goals align with your values. I prioritize clear, practical actions and education so you understand the why behind each change, and together we build habits that support your whole self, not just a number on the scale.

Your first session with Tara

Expect a relaxed, judgment-free conversation that helps us get a clear picture of where you're starting. I'll guide our review of your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you bring, and we'll take a deep dive into your relationship with food so I can understand patterns, strengths, and barriers. Together we'll establish one to two short-term, actionable goals you can try before our next visit. You do not need to have everything figured out, we'll move at a pace that feels manageable.
