About Dawn
Welcome! I am a registered dietitian with a broad work history that thoroughly enjoys getting to know each individual patient. I have vast experience working with patients regarding weight management, heart disease, diabetes/prediabetes, kidney disease, post bariatric surgery, GI conditions and eating disorders. I have also worked with many patients that are pursuing semaglutides to ensure that they meet nutritional requirements while on them. My patients range from pediatrics to senior citizens and include self-taught nutrition experts as well as patients just beginning their nutritional journeys. I strive to stay current regarding clinical nutrition research and culinary trends. Regardless of weight, disease state, age, and culture; we all require proper nourishment and deserve the tools to obtain it.
Approach to care
I feel passionately about treating every patient not only as an individual but as a whole person. Nutritional health is not solely your BMI and lab values. Alternatively, it is your mental health, it's your daily schedule, it's your financial status, it's your relationship with food. I ask the tough questions in order to learn what has gotten you to this point and to figure out your true barriers.
Your first session with Dawn
We will spend the first session getting to know each other, as well as discussing your current diet and any recent lab work. After that we will set realistic and personal goals that allow us to work together in creating a tailored nutritional plan just for you.
