About Dennis

Hi, I’m Dennis, a registered dietitian passionate about helping people nourish their bodies without restriction or guilt. I earned my BS in Dietetics and MS in Nutrition from Idaho State University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based, compassionate care. Whether you're navigating a health condition or simply looking to improve your relationship with food, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Approach to care

My approach is rooted in collaboration, empathy, and respect for your lived experience. I believe nutrition should be flexible, inclusive, and tailored to your unique needs, not rigid or one-size-fits-all. Whether you're managing a health condition or simply want to feel more confident around food, I’ll meet you where you are and support you in setting realistic, sustainable goals. Together, we’ll create a plan that not only supports your physical health, but also aligns with your lifestyle, preferences, and values.

Your first session with Dennis

Your first session is all about you, your story, your goals, and what you’re hoping to get out of nutrition counseling. We'll start by discussing your health history, current lifestyle, relationship with food, and any medical concerns or symptoms you’d like support with. This is a no-pressure, judgment-free space where you're encouraged to share as much (or as little) as you're comfortable with. From there, we’ll begin to identify key areas to focus on together and set some realistic, individualized goals. You’ll leave the session with a clearer picture of your path forward and practical steps you can take right away. This is a collaborative process, there’s no “perfect” way to eat, and I’m here to support you in building a way of eating that works for you.
