About Emily

Hello! I am Emily, a registered dietitian with over 5 years of clinical experience in acute care, long term care, and kidney disease/dialysis. I became a dietitian because I am passionate about health and wellness for every person. Each of my RD positions has allowed me to work on my nutrition counseling skillset as well as learn how to approach each client with empathy, kindness, and individualized care--all from the perspective of evidence-based nutrition. My goal as your dietitian is to give you the tools and support you need to build sustainable habits and improve your health in a way that works for you and your lifestyle.

Approach to care

My approach to care is client-centered, allowing me to guide each person in establishing goals that are unique to their needs. I value providing education regarding nutrition topics and creating a space where people feel comfortable asking questions about nutrition. I also strive to practice from a weight-neutral perspective because I believe that healthy habits are positive at any body size. Ultimately, my approach is individualized care that will help you make lasting changes for your health!

Your first session with Emily

In your first session, you can expect us to take some time getting to know each other. I will ask questions about your current lifestyle, relationship with food, and current food habits. Then, we will discuss what your goals are as well as potential barriers. We will also review any relevant nutrition topics. Together, we will then create a plan to help you overcome challenges and meet your goals. I will be there for support and guidance every step of the way!
