Hi there! I’m Erica (she/her), a dietitian with a knack for tackling eating disorders, pediatric nutrition, pregnancy and postpartum, body image, and chronic disease management. My passion? Empowering people with the tools to make food choices that support their well-being—without guilt, stress, or rigid rules.

In real life, my dry sense of humor shines through. I’m a mom, wife, nutrition nerd, and nature enthusiast who loves exploring the PNW. I adore my kids 92% of the time (I did the math) and have a soft spot for foods that start with "C"—coffee, cupcakes, carrots, you name it.

I find joy in outdoor adventures, feeding my family, gathering with friends, and squeezing in days at the boxing gym. I’m also big on advocating for better food access and food equity.

After years of chasing diets and trying to mold my body into an idea of “health,” I learned to respect it and nourish myself in a way that actually felt good. Now, I focus on helping others build a more peaceful, sustainable approach to food—one that fits their real lives.

INTEGRATIVE & FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

I take the time to understand your whole health—not because I’m nosy, but because true relief and holistic nourishment come from looking at every aspect of your life: social, genetic, mental, and beyond. A functional and integrative approach encourages us to assess the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. This comprehensive view helps me identify barriers to your long-term goals, contributors to disease states, and guides the creation of a unique care plan tailored to you. This patient-centered approach recognizes that mind, body, and spirit are all interconnected.

Commitment to Equity and Justice

As a person of color, I am acutely aware of the inequities in healthcare and how they shape access, quality of care, and overall health. Healthcare isn’t just a human right—it must be delivered with compassion, respect, and a commitment to equity.

At Summit Nutrition Counseling, I am committed to creating an inclusive space for people of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexualities, ages, body sizes, and abilities. Your experience matters, and I’m here to support you in a way that feels safe, respectful, and empowering.
