About Emily

Hi, I’m Emily. I’ve spent 15 years as a Registered Dietitian helping people feel better through real, sustainable change. My background has included working in an outpatient setting where I translate medical history and lab results into practical, everyday choices. I carry MS, RDN, LDN, and CDCES, postnominals as part of my commitment to science and patient education. Outside of work I love spending time with my family and learning to crochet. I’m excited to partner with you to reach your health goals in a kind and doable way.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is evidence-based, empathetic, and collaborative. I believe in meeting you where you are and building a plan that fits your life, not chasing someone else’s standard. We’ll rely on current science, translate it into practical actions, and set clear steps you can start this week. I practice through focusing on behaviors and well being rather than a quick fix. I take a holistic view of health, looking at nutrition alongside sleep, stress, and mood, and I keep education at the center so you understand the why behind each recommendation. Together we’ll create you a sustainable path that honors your values and your body.

Your first session with Emily

Our first appointment is all about you. Think of it as a conversation, not a test or a judgment. We'll start by reviewing your medical history and any recent lab work or biometrics so I can understand where you’re starting from, and we’ll talk about short-term goals you’d like to achieve. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we meet; I’ll guide the conversation with thoughtful questions and practical suggestions. By the end, you’ll have a couple of clear, achievable steps to begin with and a sense of the path we’ll take together.
