About Anna

Hi, I'm Anna. I'm a Registered Dietitian based in Detroit, Michigan, with an MS in Nutrition and Dietetics from Michigan State University. In my first year as an RD, I’ve worked in the hospital setting and in research and academia, where I have been emersed in how diet affects health outcomes, and vice versa. I’m well-versed in allergy-friendly foods and beverages from my time working as a dietary restriction lead while obtaining my bachelor's and master's degree. Outside of work, I love boating on the great lakes during the warm months, baking in the cold months, and staying active any way possible!

Approach to care

I practice an evidence-based, empathetic approach that helps you build lasting habits. I’ll explain the science behind recommendations in clear, practical terms and we’ll set realistic steps together. I embrace a weight-neutral, HAES-informed perspective and see you as a whole person — mind, body, and lifestyle — not just a number. My educational focus includes the Mediterranean diet/lifestyle and its health benefits, and I recently published research on its association with lowering depression, which has taught me how to tailor guidance for people in all of walks of life. I’m committed to sustainable change that fits your life.

Your first session with Anna

Our first appointment is all about you. We’ll start by reviewing your medical history and lab work or biometrics, then dive into your relationship with food. We’ll create a practical meal plan and establish short-term goals that feel doable. You don’t need to have it all figured out yet; this is a warm, collaborative conversation where you’re heard, supported, and respected. I’ll walk with you step by step toward changes that fit your life and your goals.
