About Jennifer

Hi, I’m Jen—a registered and licensed dietitian born in Michigan but now based in Chicago. With over 20 years of working with clients, I have seen many diet trends come and go. I'm passionate about helping people meet their health goals while building a healthier relationship with food. With a background in psychology from Michigan State and a deep appreciation for the mind-body connection, I believe nutrition isn’t just about what’s on your plate—it’s about what’s going on in your head and heart too.

Approach to care

My approach is judgment-free, realistic, and rooted in the belief that all foods can fit. You won’t catch me pushing pricey produce or marathon meal prep. Instead, I meet you where you are—with empathy, honesty, and a focus on progress, not perfection. My approach to care is rooted in supporting your overall health. While I do like to look at labs and other biomarkers, I also believe that healthy motion, sleep, stress and surroundings play a part. I love helping clients set realistic, actionable goals that fit their current lifestyle. Let’s find what works for you—without guilt, shame, or strict food rules.

Your first session with Jennifer

In our first session together, I take the time to really listen and understand what matters most to you. By the end of our conversation, you’ll walk away with at least one clear, realistic goal that feels doable and aligned with your bigger vision. I like to keep things laid-back and conversational so you can feel at ease. Your input is incredibly important—this is a team effort, and I want the goals we set to truly reflect your needs and values. My main focus is making sure you feel supported, understood, and empowered every step of the way.
