Approach to care

Jessica’s approach to patient care is centered on empathy, sustainability, and evidence-based guidance. She helps patients make small, incremental lifestyle changes that are realistic and long-lasting, rather than overwhelming. As both a registered dietitian and a cancer survivor, she deeply understands the importance of listening to patients’ experiences and meeting them where they are. She empowers individuals by translating complex nutrition science into clear, practical strategies, while also addressing myths and misconceptions. Above all, Jessica ensures that every patient feels supported, heard, and respected as they work together to improve health outcomes.

Your first session with Jessica

In the first session, Jessica spends time getting to know the patient and discussing their health history, lifestyle, and goals. She wants to ensure she is the right fit to support what they are looking for, and uses this time to set priorities together. Her goal is for each patient to leave with a clear and realistic plan so they know exactly how to move forward.
