Nutritionists and Dietitians near Richardson, TX

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who practices out of Health Loft providing nutrition therapy for adults and adolescents with disordered eating and eating disorders. My drive as a dietitian is to work uniquely with each client to create safe, sustainable, and nourishing relationships with food. I believe that qualified and unbiased nutrition care should be available to every individual, no matter their size, health barriers, or schedule. I translate my culinary training into my practice by promoting food as not only a source of fuel, but comfort, tradition, celebration, connection, and recovery.

I've seen too many times people hopping from doctor to doctor without finding real answers or results. No one means to dismiss another person, especially when they are in pain and looking for help, but these doctors simply don't have the time to find the root cause of your ailments. As a Registered Dietitian and Certified LEAP Therapist, I take plenty of time to listen to you and your frustrations. I offer blood testing to identify foods that may be the root cause of your pain. Together, we will walk through the process of eliminating foods that are making you sick. Then, we will find foods that you love and make you feel great!
