About Jennifer

I’m a registered and licensed dietitian with a passion for helping people make sense of nutrition in a way that fits real life. I’m originally from Michigan and earned my Bachelor of Science from Michigan State University, followed by a Master of Science from the University of Idaho. My work focuses on diabetes, weight and metabolic health, and chronic disease management. I’m a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) and a Certified Specialist in Obesity and Weight Management (CSOWM), and I work closely with primary care teams to support patients with complex conditions. Outside of work, my husband and I are raising two teenage boys, along with our two energetic pups, Milo and Gruden. Being both a parent and clinician helps me focus on realistic, sustainable changes that work in everyday life.

Approach to care

I focus on what really matters: how you feel, your energy, and your overall health—not just numbers on a scale. Together, we'll create strategies that fit your real life, not perfect meal plans that fall apart when things get busy. I'm all about practical solutions, not restrictive rules, and celebrating progress over perfection.

Your first session with Jennifer

Our work together is collaborative and judgment-free. I'll take time to understand your health history, daily challenges, and goals so we can build a plan that actually works for you. Whether you're managing blood sugar, preparing for bariatric surgery, or dealing with complex health conditions, I'll help you build sustainable habits that make you feel better.
