Hi there, I’m Carly (she/her)
I’m so glad that you’re here! I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Licensed Dietitian practicing in Texas. I received a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition with a business minor from the University of Texas at Austin. I currently live in Austin, TX with my husband, two children, and new puppy. In my free time you can find me enjoying beautiful weather (aka not the Texas summer) outside, going for long drives around Austin, and experimenting in the kitchen…and let’s be honest, probably at some school, social or extra-curricular related event for my kids.
I’ve worked in a private practice setting for almost 10 years, in addition to working with an eating disorder treatment center at an IOP level of care. In my experience working with clients with eating disorders, I’ve worked alongside health care providers such as physicians, psychiatrists, therapists, and counselors to ensure my clients are getting the gold standard of treatment with a complete treatment team.
I am passionate about helping my clients to feel informed and empowered in their relationship with food and their body. With additional training in motivational interviewing, I help you identify motivation, support you in overcoming barriers to success, and assist you in creating sustained behavior change. I approach my work through a weight-inclusive, anti-oppressive and trauma-informed lens. I take a Health at Every SizeⓇ aligned approach and incorporate Intuitive Eating into all sessions. Through these lenses, we can approach any nutrition-related problem with care and consideration for individual autonomy and unique needs in mind.
I am excited to be working towards becoming a Certified Eating Disorders Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor.
I came to the work of food, nutrition, bodies, health, connection, and counseling from a history of relative food and body peace. I hold privileged identities that have contributed to the ease I have experienced in the pursuit of my career and the motion of my life in general. As a thin, white, currently able-bodied, cisgender woman, coming from a middle-class nuclear family, having had access to higher education and current financial stability, these identities and experiences play a role in my access to opportunities as well as the formation of my own relationship with food and my body. These privileges increase my risk of doing harm and this risk drives me to dig into my biases and be persistent in the work of dismantling them while acknowledging and striving to repair harm when it happens.
