About Jennifer
Hi, I'm Jenny and I am a registered dietitian nutritionist residing in the Pacific Northwest! My experience as a dietitian has been driven by folks seeking care for weight management, especially using weight loss medications and bariatric surgery as a tool. While I love this work, I also thrive through helping people restore healthy relationships to food and managing challenging conditions like diabetes, PCOS and gastroparesis.
Approach to care
I consider myself a weight neutral, health first dietitian aimed at helping you feel your best and work towards a healthy relationship with your body and food. I use a ton of compassion and a realistic approach to helping you identify the barriers you have to reaching your health goals while helping filter out all the diet noise of the world. We will work as a team to help you settle into a lifestyle that you feel is maintainable and makes you feel your best. I use intuitive eating as a backbone to my work and we may pull in the concepts of this work together to restore a healthy balance of nourishment, both mental and physical. My goal is always to provide compassionate, gender and cultural affirming care.
Your first session with Jennifer
In our first session, we will spend a little time getting to know each other and talking through the "what brings you in to see me" question. I like to do a thorough assessment of your health which can include everything from your stress management and medications to your food routines and management of health conditions. We will discuss challenges you've had reaching your nutrition goals and how we can create some steps to help you build the skills and confidence you need to reach those goals.
