About Danielle

Dani has been a dietitian since 2014 with a variety of work experiences in hospitals, women's health and retail, providing her with a strong clinical knowledge of chronic diseases, blood sugar management, weight concerns, nutrient needs, and more, as well as skills related to nutrition education and application pieces like grocery shopping, meal planning, and food prep. She also has advanced training in Health Communication, which helps her explain nutrition information in a way that's simple and easy to understand. She loves meeting people where they are at in their health journeys, and working together to create action plans that feel customized and doable.

Approach to care

There is real power in food, and Dani likes to help patients discover that. Through education and knowledge-sharing, she also hopes to empower patients to make informed decisions and feel in control of their food choices. She believes that all-foods-fit (yes, even your favorite food or convenience foods!), and she'll work with you to find a variety and enjoyment in your meals that make healthy habits make sense for you (not the other way around). There is a personalized solution for you, even if you don't like to cook, don't have time, have a limited budget, etc. Empathy and patient-driven, Dani is here to be a caring and supportive member of your healthcare team.

Your first session with Danielle

In your initial session, Dani wants to get to know you! She'll ask questions about past medical history, lifestyle, and eating habits -- maybe you'll even just chat for a while! You'll have the opportunity to share your goals and concerns, and together, the two of you will come up with a plan of action for where to start! We won't solve all the problems in session 1, but we'll start putting the pieces together.
