About Emily

Hi, I'm Emily. I'm a Registered Dietitian based in Charleston, South Carolina, with three years of experience across clinical and hospital settings, community health, and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. I earned my Bachelor's and Master's in Nutrition & Dietetics from Appalachian State University and I practice as a Registered and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist. I love helping people build healthier relationships with food through evidence-based, doable strategies. When I’m not seeing clients, you’ll find me in the kitchen cooking and baking, relieving stress at the gym, traveling, or trying out new restaurants with my husband.

Approach to care

My care philosophy centers on science, empathy, and action. I believe in an evidence-based approach that translates research into practical steps you can actually follow. We’ll explore your relationship with food, your daily routines, and your goals, then design a clear plan with small, sustainable actions. I practice with a weight-neutral, HAES-inspired mindset and a holistic view of health that honors mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Together, we’ll pursue lasting change that fits your life.

Your first session with Emily

Our first appointment is all about you. We’ll review your medical history, take a deep dive into your relationship with food, and establish short-term goals that feel doable. You don’t need to have it all figured out before we meet; we’ll figure it out together. I’ll share practical tools and simple steps you can start this week, tailored to your life and your unique needs. This is a welcoming, judgment-free space where progress, not perfection, is our shared goal.
