About Emily

Hi, I’m Emily, a Registered Dietitian (RD) with three years of experience helping individuals build healthier relationships with food. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Food Nutrition and a Master of Science in Dietetic Systems. I am practicing with both RD and LD (Licensed Dietitian) credentials. My career spans across sports nutrition and community health, including research and performance support through previous experience working with Division I football athletes at Montana State University and the University of Washington. I have a strong passion for cooking and enjoy helping people translate nutrition guidance into practical, enjoyable meals that fit into a real life. When I’m not working, I love staying active through strength training, hiking, and the outdoors, as well as attending live music events and spending meaningful time with family and friends. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a collaborative spirit to every session.

Approach to care

I ground my care in current research and practical strategies, so our plan is evidence based and doable in real life. I’m empathetic and warm, never judgmental, and I’ll be direct about the actions that move you forward. I practice with a Health At Every Size mindset, honoring your body and choosing sustainability over quick fixes. I look at your food, mood, sleep, and stress as connected parts of your health, and I’ll educate you along the way so you can make informed choices long after our sessions. Together, we’ll build lasting habits.

Your first session with Emily

Our first appointment will focus on understanding your goals, expectations, and where you are in your journey. We’ll explore your relationship with food, your lifestyle, and what led you here, while creating a clear yet flexible path forward. You don’t need to have everything figured out. Together, we’ll identify what matters most to you and set one or two achievable goals to begin. I’ll meet you where you are, offering practical strategies, accountability, and ongoing support to build a plan that fits your life.
