About Alyssa
Iâm a registered dietitian and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist with a passion for helping adults rebuild a peaceful, sustainable relationship with food. My work is grounded in evidence-based practices, and I specialize in eating disorders and womenâs health, offering personalized 1:1 nutrition services that meet clients where they are. My path to becoming a dietitian was driven by a deep desire to support others in healing their relationship with foodâsomething Iâve been through myself. My personal experience with fertility challenges also fuels my mission to help individuals and couples use the power of nutrition to support their reproductive health and achieve their dream of growing a family. Whether youâre navigating recovery, fertility, or simply looking to feel more confident in your body and food choices, Iâm here to guide you with compassion and expertise
Approach to care
Nutrition is personal, and so is healing. I take a compassionate, individualized approach that honors your lived experiences and supports your goalsâwhether youâre working through an eating disorder, navigating your fertility journey, or both. As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist with a background in womenâs health, I offer a weight-inclusive, non-diet approach rooted in evidence-based care. My focus is on building trust with your body, fostering a peaceful relationship with food, and supporting your overall well-beingâphysically, mentally, and emotionally. In our work together, you can expect a collaborative space where your needs come first. Weâll focus on practical strategies, sustainable changes, and a deeper connection to your bodyâs wisdomâempowering you to care for yourself with confidence and clarity.
Your first session with Alyssa
Our first session is all about getting to know you. Weâll take a deep dive into your health history, eating patterns, lifestyle, and goals so I can understand the full picture of your relationship with food and your body. This is a judgment-free space where youâre encouraged to share as muchâor as littleâas you feel comfortable. Iâll ask thoughtful questions and listen carefully so we can begin building a plan thatâs personalized, realistic, and aligned with your values. You wonât leave with a strict meal plan or a list of rules. Instead, youâll walk away with greater clarity, a sense of direction, and next steps that support your journeyâwhether youâre working toward recovery, supporting fertility, or simply seeking more peace with food.
