Abbie is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS). She earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Nutritional Sciences from Oklahoma State University and did her dietetic internship through the University of Houston. She worked for several years at Center for Discovery, an eating disorder treatment center providing partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient levels of care. There, Abbie received training on the treatment of anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and ARFID, and worked with many vegetarian/vegan clients.
In addition to eating disorders, Abbie also specializes in PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). She leads a weekly virtual PCOS support group and counsels individuals on strategies for PCOS treatment. She practices from a trauma informed, non-diet approach and is passionate about helping people heal their relationship with food and their bodies through the principles of intuitive eating. Abbie recognizes that every person’s journey is different and will partner with you to work towards the unique goals you have for yourself. She believes strongly in accessible care and that everyone who needs a dietitian should have one. She currently lives in the Garden Oaks area with her Aussiedoodle puppy named Ozzie.

What Clients Have to Say…
"After two years of constipation, no menstruation, low energy, thinning hair, tooth decay, skin decay, and increased isolation, I was finally ready to ask for help. Abbie was one of my many ED professionals who supported me as I recovered from anorexia. Her ability to flexibly adapt her techniques to my specific needs in a non-judgmental, firm way played the vital role in recovering my menstrual cycle in the final stages of my recovery. I remain grateful for her profound trust in my intuition that empowered me to actively listen to my body with confidence and learn what true health really means.”
"Seeing Abbie has been genuinely life changing for me. She is the first healthcare professional I’ve seen that I feel has actually had a meaningful impact on my health. Not only has her advice helped with managing my PCOS symptoms (I finally got my period back!), but it completely transformed my relationship with food and the way I approach my health. I feel like we as a society have a really unhealthy relationship with food and diet, and her advice helped me see the ways in which my relationship with food was really damaging. I literally tell all my friends about how amazing it was seeing her and I always describe it as “food therapy” haha. Now I tell all my friends to try and find a good dietitian if possible, especially those who have PCOS and have struggled with managing it. I feel like my entire approach to my diet and building a healthy lifestyle has become so much better."
