About Hannah

Hi, I’m Hannah, a Registered Dietitian (RD) and Licensed Dietitian (LD) based in Portland, Oregon. With five years of experience across clinical and hospital settings, I’ve learned that real change comes from steady, compassionate collaboration. I earned my BS in Nutrition from California Polytechnic State University, completed my dietetic internship at Montana State University, and recently finished up Vanderbilt University’s Health Coaching Program to grow alongside my patients. When I’m off the clock, I love live music, downhill skiing, road trips, reading, and a good glass of wine. I’m glad you’re here.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is evidence-based, empathetic, and action-oriented. I practice from a Health At Every Size perspective, meeting you where you are and prioritizing behaviors over any number on the scale. I believe nourishment is about more than calories; it’s mental well being, energy, and daily joy. Together we’ll translate science into clear steps, with a plan that fits your life. You’ll have knowledge and strategies to sustain changes, not quick fixes.

Your first session with Hannah

Our first session is all about you. We’ll review your medical history and current health concerns, explore your relationship with food, and talk about your goals in a non-judgmental space. There’s no need to have it all figured out before we meet; think of it as a conversation that helps us build a simple, realistic plan. Together we’ll set short-term goals and a starting point you feel confident pursuing, and I’ll be with you every step of the way.
