About Emily

I have earned my bachelor of science, master of science, as well as completed my supervised practice year all through Metropolitan State University of Denver and I couldn't be more proud to have been a part of such an outstanding nutrition department. Throughout my many years of nutrition education I have come to love many aspects of nutrition and truly enjoy continuing to expand my knowledge on various topics. In my personal time I love reading (all genres but my favorite is fantasy — what's yours?!), trying new yummy recipes, doing low-impact exercise such as walking my dog or pilates/yoga, and spending time with my husband and our daughter!

Approach to care

Nutrition is such a special field and with all that I've learned and continue to learn, I get so excited to share that information with others! I like to treat my patients holistically, and this comes from the field of dietetics being a holistic healthcare field in and of itself. We as dietitians are trained to look into all aspects of a person's health and lifestyle, not just the symptoms they are currently presenting to us with. This is because, although the body is made up of lots of individual systems, they are all connected and can affect each other both positively and negatively. That being said, my hope is that we can work together using nutrition to optimize your overall health and meet individualistic goals.

Your first session with Emily

During our first session together I always like to take a few minutes to get to know each other. I want to know more about you than just the symptoms you’re presenting with! Once we’ve established a solid-back story to your past and current relationship with nutrition, we will work together to set some short and long-term goals to work towards.
