About Jennifer

Hi, I'm Jenn! With 12 years as a Registered Dietitian, I blend science and empathy to help people build lasting healthy habits. I earned my MA and BS in Nutrition and Dietetics from Ball State University, and I've spent most of my career in clinical and hospital settings. My work is supported by credentials like CNSC, LD, and RD, which I carry with pride as I guide patients through nutrition challenges. Outside the office I love barre, cooking, reading, and traveling, because nourishment happens in many parts of life. I'm glad you're here.

Approach to care

I approach nutrition care with an evidence-based, empathetic mindset. I stay current with science and translate it into practical, doable steps you can actually fit into life. I practice with a holistic lens, considering your mental and emotional well-being alongside your physical health. We'll take a weight-neutral stance that emphasizes behaviors, nourishment, and sustainable habits rather than quick fixes. By meeting you where you are and focusing on education, together we'll build a plan you can maintain and feel good about long term.

Your first session with Jennifer

Our first appointment is all about you. We'll review your medical history, current eating patterns, and daily routines, and we'll set short-term goals that feel manageable. This is a low-pressure, judgment-free conversation designed to reduce anxiety and help you feel seen. You don't need to have everything figured out yet; I'll guide the discussion and we'll decide together what matters most and what small steps we can take next. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and your goals.
