About Elissa

Hi! I'm Elissa, a Registered Dietitian with a passion for supporting nourishment for all. I’m dedicated to providing evidence-based, compassionate nutrition care for diverse patient populations, including pediatrics. I’m committed to delivering compassionate, individualized care that supports healing, growth, and long-term well-being. My approach focuses on collaboration to create practical and sustainable nutrition plans to meet unique needs. I’m excited to continue growing as a clinician and making a positive impact through the power of nutrition.

Approach to care

My approach to nutrition care is grounded in the belief that all bodies deserve respect, nourishment, and support—regardless of size, shape, or background. I practice through a Health at Every Size® and All Foods Fit lens, promoting a positive and balanced relationship with food that honors both physical health and overall well-being. I strive to create a nonjudgmental, inclusive environment where patients feel empowered to explore their individual nutrition needs without guilt or restriction. By focusing on evidence-based care, mindful eating, and sustainable lifestyle changes, I aim to help individuals build trust in their bodies and find joy in nourishing themselves. Whether working with infants, children, or adults, my goal is to meet each person where they are—collaborating to develop realistic, compassionate strategies that support both immediate health goals and long-term wellness.

Your first session with Elissa

Your first session is all about getting to know you—your goals, preferences, and relationship with food. Together, we’ll explore your current eating patterns, medical history, lifestyle, and any questions or concerns you may have about nutrition. My goal is to understand your unique experiences and create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable sharing openly. By the end of our session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how we’ll work together moving forward—whether that means developing personalized nutrition goals, setting up ongoing follow-ups, or simply taking time to reflect and adjust. Every session is collaborative, compassionate, and centered around helping you feel confident and supported on your nutrition journey.
