  • ā€œEmily helped me achieve my nutrition goals after only a few sessions! She is very knowledgable and helpful with learning more about balancing meals, coming up with attainable goals, and reaching larger goals. She is such a great nutritionist and I would recommend her to everyone! She is friendly, remembers details about you, and offers great advice with recipe suggestions and solutions to barriers. 10/10 recommend!!!ā€œ

  • ā€œEmily is very knowledgeable and approaches care with empathy and compassion. Being diagnosed as prediabetic at 26 felt scary and isolating but having such a kind, approachable dietician who genuinely cares has been so helpful. I love how she frames nutrition in a realistic way and I’m so grateful for all her guidance!ā€œ

About Emily

Hi, I’m Emily! I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) based in the beautiful Reno-Tahoe area, and I’m passionate about helping people use nutrition to feel their best. Whether you’re looking to manage a health condition, improve your relationship with food, or simply feel more energized, I’m here to guide and support you. With over six years of experience in both acute care and outpatient settings, I have special interest in diabetes, thyroid disorders, and women’s health. I also love working with clients focused on heart health, oncology and overall well-being. As a proud single mom, I understand the importance of balance—because nutrition should work for your real life, not the other way around! Let’s make healthy eating enjoyable, sustainable, and stress-free. I’d love to help you reach your goals!

Approach to care

I believe in a collaborative approach to nutrition. Together, we’ll explore areas for potential change and find what works best for you. You’re in the driver’s seat—I’m here to provide evidence-based guidance, support, and practical strategies so you can make informed decisions that feel right for your lifestyle and goals.

Your first session with Emily

In our first session, we’ll take the time to chat, dive into your goals, and explore your current habits and health history. From there, we’ll work together to create a realistic, personalized action plan that sets you up for success—one step at a time.
