About Ann

Hi, I'm Ann. I'm a Registered Dietitian with over a decade of experience, and I have a specialized credential as a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES). My career spans clinical and hospital settings as well as community health, which helps me tailor guidance to both medical and everyday life. I believe a chronic diagnosis shouldn’t end the joy of eating. I partner with people to navigate nutrition and lifestyle changes, moving away from restrictive dieting toward education, confidence, and lasting habit change. Together, we'll find sustainable, healthful choices that fit your real life.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is grounded in evidence-based practice, empathy, and partnership. I translate the latest science into clear, practical steps you can actually use. I practice with a Health At Every Size lens, focusing on behaviors and well-being rather than a number on the scale. I combine education with compassionate support to meet you where you are and help you build skills for long-term change. We'll move at your pace, celebrate small wins, and aim for steady progress that respects your values.

Your first session with Ann

Our first appointment is all about you. We'll review your medical history, discuss your current lab work or biometrics, and establish short-term goals that feel realistic. I'll explain how we will track progress and adjust as needed, and you don't need to have everything figured out ahead of time. This is a judgment-free, collaborative conversation. Together, we'll set a clear path forward and begin building skills and habits that support your health in a way that fits your life.
