About Hanna

With more than 10 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, a Master of Science in Nutrition, and a Certified Specialist in Pediatric Nutrition (CSP), I bring advanced clinical knowledge and a patient-centered approach to helping individuals navigate nutrition and health challenges. During my nearly 10 years at Cleveland Clinic Children's, working within one of the country's leading pediatric healthcare systems significantly strengthened my clinical expertise and shaped my commitment to delivering high-quality, evidence based nutrition care. My clinical background includes medical nutrition therapy and broad-based pediatric nutrition counseling, all aimed at improving patients' quality of life. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with three young children, cooking, and exercising, which helps me develop practical and enjoyable nutrition strategies that we can realistically incorporate into everyday life.

Approach to care

Nutrition care should be rooted in solid evidence and real life. I use current research and proven protocols to guide clear, action-oriented steps, while keeping our conversations warm and nonjudgmental. We'll focus on sustainable habits that support long-term health, emphasize behaviors rather than weight, and consider emotional, social, and physical factors. Education is central, so you'll leave with practical tools and the confidence to make choices that fit your life.

Your first session with Hanna

When you come for your first visit we'll do a thoughtful review of your medical history and any relevant lab work. We'll talk through your relationship with food, routines, and priorities, then create an initial meal plan and establish short-term, achievable goals together. For pediatric patients we'll also review growth and feeding or eating behaviors. You don't need to have everything figured out, just bring your questions and we will build a plan at a pace that works for you!
