About Gabriella
Hi! I’m Gabriella and I would love to be your dietitian. Food and nutrition is a complicated and nuanced aspect of our lives. In our fast paced society, it can be difficult to decipher what is fact and fiction in the food and diet industry. That’s where I come in! What sets me apart from other professionals is my dedication to equity, inclusivity, and evidence-based practice. I strive to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and respected, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Approach to care
I take an individualized approach to nutrition counseling. Each body is different and has unique needs. Whether you have a chronic illness, are trying to gain or lose weight, improve your health, or are curious about how to better fuel yourself, we can work together to build a personalized plan. We will discuss what dietary options are realistic, satisfying, and effective for your needs. Each session is an opportunity to check in on your progress and pivot to optimize success. I am always available to answer any questions you have and learn alongside you as new research and information emerges.
Your first session with Gabriella
In our first session, we will spend time getting to know each other and make sure that I am a good fit as your dietitian. We will talk through your desired goals, timeline, and methods for success. Together, we'll build a plan that is realistic and personalized to your schedule, needs, and tastes to ensure we're "meeting you where you're at." We will likely also have time to dive into some principles of a generally healthy diet and define what balance means to you.
