About Elizabeth

Hi, I'm Elizabeth. I'm a Registered Dietitian with two years of experience, and I hold an MS in Clinical Nutrition. I've worked in community health, where I learned how social and environmental factors shape what we eat every day. I have personal experience with type 1 diabetes since the age of 7 years old, which fueled my desire to go into the nutrition world. When I'm not helping clients, I love cooking and baking, reading, taking walks, and spending time with my family. I believe food should nourish and delight, not be a source of stress, and I’m excited to get to know you.

Approach to care

My care philosophy centers on collaboration, warmth, and lasting change. I ground my practice in current research and practical steps, so what we plan feels doable. I work with a weight-neutral HAES perspective, focusing on behaviors that support health and well-being rather than quick fixes. I see you as a whole person, with mental, emotional, and physical dimensions that matter. We'll explore your values and goals, share knowledge, and tailor a plan that respects your life. Our approach is educational and sustainable, not judgmental or prescriptive.

Your first session with Elizabeth

Our first appointment is a welcoming conversation about you. We'll review your medical history and talk through your daily routines to understand how food fits into your life. I want to hear what your day looks like, what you enjoy about eating, and where you feel challenged. You don't need to have everything figured out; we'll explore goals together and set 1 or 2 achievable next steps. I hold a judgment-free space and will support you with clear, realistic plans that fit your schedule and priorities.
