About Alyssa

Welcome! I am so excited and glad you are here. I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 10 years of experience in diverse settings including a diabetes clinic, private practice, and fitness center. I've helped hundreds of folks achieve their health and wellness goals while creating a more peaceful relationship with food and their bodies. My professional interests include chronic disease prevention and early intervention, and the benefits of plant forward dietary patterns. I specialize in weight management/weight loss, prediabetes, diabetes, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and mindful eating.

Approach to care

I value critical thinking, research-backed nutrition guidelines, and a holistic approach to nutrition science. My counseling style is honest, compassionate, positive, and collaborative. I’m enthusiastic about plant forward and flexitarian diets, encourage a mindful approach to living well, and execute a deep knowledge of the psychology behind eating and our behavior surrounding positive habit change.

Your first session with Alyssa

In our first session, we'll take the time to get to know each other and delve into your health journey, exploring the experiences that have shaped your path so far. We'll discuss what a typical day looks like for you, including your nutrition and lifestyle habits, and start brainstorming areas where we can create positive change. By the end of our session, we’ll set a few small, actionable goals, giving you clear steps to focus on before our next meeting. You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to ask questions about the program and discover all the features available to support you on your journey. My aim is to make sure you leave feeling inspired and prepared to make meaningful progress!
