About Jennifer

Hi, I’m Jenn, a bilingual dietitian with 10 years experience, I am incredibly passionate about helping people of all ages feel their best through food and nutrition. I’ve cared for patients from premature babies in the NICU to older adults, and understand that each stage of life comes with unique needs. I hold a Master’s in Nutrition and Metabolism, and have extensive experience in providing Telehealth counseling to people of all ages with various health conditions and goals. Whether your goal is weight management, gaining muscle mass, supporting your child’s growth, improving your health, or navigating tube feeding, I’m here to help. I don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” nutrition—your culture, lifestyle, and goals matter. Together, we’ll create a plan that’s realistic, motivating, and sustainable. With my background as a personal trainer, I also bring fitness into the bigger picture of your health. If you’re ready for changes that fit your life, I’d love to work with you!

Approach to care

My style of care is supportive, realistic, and personalized. I don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” nutrition or strict, unsustainable rules. Instead, I take time to listen, understand your culture, preferences, and lifestyle, and then build a plan that works for YOU. Together, we’ll set goals that feel achievable and motivating—not overwhelming—so you can make lasting changes with confidence. Most importantly, I want my patients to feel heard, understood, and empowered. My role is to be your partner in health—celebrating progress, working through challenges, and helping you find balance along the way.

Your first session with Jennifer

Your first session is all about getting to know you. We’ll start by reviewing your medical history and any current health concerns, so I have a full picture of your needs. From there, we’ll talk through your typical daily eating habits, lifestyle, and any challenges you’re facing when it comes to food or nutrition. Together, we’ll identify your personal goals—whether that’s improving energy, managing a health condition, supporting your child’s growth, or working toward weight management. My role is to help you set realistic, sustainable goals and create a personalized plan that feels doable for your life, not restrictive or overwhelming. By the end of your first session, you’ll walk away with clear next steps, encouragement, and a roadmap we can build on together.
