About Jennifer
Hi! Iām Jennifer, a bilingual dietitian in California. I speak English and Spanish and enjoy connecting through food and culture. I'm also a diabetes specialist (CDCES) and focus on helping people manage diabetes in a way that fits their life. I focus on practical, culturally sensitive care that respects your food traditions. Whether you're newly diagnosed or just need support, Iām here to help you feel confident and in control. En espaƱol: Ā”Hola! Soy Jennifer, dietista registrada bilingüe en California. Hablo inglĆ©s y espaƱol, y me encanta conectar a travĆ©s de la comida y la cultura. Soy CDCES y me especializo en diabetes con un enfoque prĆ”ctico y culturalmente sensible. Respeto tus tradiciones y preferencias. Si necesitas apoyo, estoy aquĆ para ayudarte a sentirte con confianza y en control.
Approach to care
My approach to care is rooted in collaboration, empathy, and flexibility. I take time to understand your goals, challenges, and cultural background so we can build a plan that works for you. I donāt believe in one-size-fits-all nutritionāmy focus is on small, realistic changes that fit into your life. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and encouraged at every step. En espaƱol: Mi enfoque de atención se basa en la colaboración, la empatĆa y la flexibilidad. Me tomo el tiempo para entender tus metas, desafĆos y contexto cultural, para crear un plan que funcione para ti. No creo en una nutrición igual para todos; me enfoco en pequeƱos cambios realistas que se adapten a tu vida. Quiero crear un espacio seguro y de apoyo donde te sientas escuchado(a), respetado(a) y acompaƱado(a) en cada paso.
