About Denise
I have been a registered dietitian since 2001! My first job was at WIC in Milwaukee WI working with a large diverse population. I really enjoyed my time there. We had the best breast-feeding stats in the state. I have also worked most recently in a rehabilitation hospital for 11 years and a dialysis outpatient center for six years. I have worked as a health coach for two years and this experience has really opened my eyes into how people change, through support and accountability.
Approach to care
Respect for patient's values, preferences, and needs. No judging, meeting patients where they are at in their lives while helping them move forward to make some positive changes. I look at the whole picture, eating habits, sleeping, stress, and exercise as these are all interrelated.
