About Jennifer

Hi! I am a practical and realistic Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES). I have 12+ years experience working with patients who are seeking support, accountability, education and guidance for their nutrition, diabetes and weight loss needs. I am excited to work with you and help you on your health journey.

Approach to care

My approach to healthy living involves getting to know my clients and understanding their goals, lifestyle and obstacles they face. Together with my knowledge and experience, I will work with you to provide accountability, offer simple ideas for integrating healthy and new behaviors into your daily schedule. My goal is to meet you where you are at and move you to where you want to be through positive behavior change.

Your first session with Jennifer

The first session is designed to get to know each other. I want to learn about your health journey, and what has brought you to this point. Information about your medical, family and social history including past nutrition and chronic diseases that may impact where you are currently. These details are insightful as we begin to make a plan towards your nutrition and health goals.
