About Jessica

Hi, I’m Jess, a dietitian in the Greater Seattle Area. I specialize in weight loss, weight management, thyroid health, general nutrition, plant-based eating, gut health, food allergies and sensitivities, celiac disease, IBS, and all types of elimination diets. My approach is practical, supportive, and rooted in real life. Beyond nutrition counseling, I’ve worked in dietary supplements, food systems, and higher education foodservice, helping create healthier, more supportive food environments. My expertise in ingredient quality and specifications has been central to all of my work, ensuring that the ingredients you choose are both nutritious and suited to your unique dietary needs.

Approach to care

My approach is empowering, personalized, and grounded in real life—not driven by trends or one-size-fits-all plans. As a middle-aged woman with a family and Hashimoto's, I understand firsthand that diet and exercise can feel challenging, even on good days. That’s why I focus on helping you create a way of eating that feels good, supports your health, and fits your unique lifestyle. Whether you're working through digestive issues, managing a long-term condition, or simply looking to feel better day-to-day, I’m here to support you. I also offer coaching to help you stay motivated, build consistency, and maintain a positive mindset—especially during times of change or uncertainty.

Your first session with Jessica

In our first session, we’ll talk about what brought you here—your interests, past experiences, and what you’re hoping to get out of nutrition counseling. I’ll do a full nutrition assessment so we can get a clear picture of your lifestyle, medical history, and overall needs. My goal is to meet you where you’re at and work with you to create a personalized plan that actually fits your life. We’ll set a few short- and long-term goals together and figure out what kind of support or accountability works best for you. At the end of the session, you’ll choose a few small goals to focus on for the week ahead, and we’ll schedule a follow-up to keep the momentum going. I’ll be here to help you stay on track, adjust as needed, and celebrate your progress along the way. You don’t have to do this alone!
