About Jessica
Hello! I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who specializes in care for pediatric and adult clients. My main areas of interest are general wellbeing, women's health, autoimmune disease, prediabetes and diabetes, and selective eating in adults & children. I enjoy working in partnership with my clients to help them feel better and gain confidence in their ability to nourish themselves.
Approach to care
I believe all foods fit into a balanced diet and that improving your nutrition doesn't have to be a stressful all or nothing proposition. I have a weight neutral approach and believe that the pursuit of health means more than hitting a number on a scale. I have a holistic approach to counseling and will work with you on hydration, sleep management, stress management, and medications/supplements as part of sessions.
Your first session with Jessica
What I really want to learn in your first session is why you are interested in taking the step of working with a dietitian right now and what are your short and long term goals. I will take time to get to know you better including reviewing your normal diet & hydration, sleep patterns, and stress levels & stress management techniques as well as any barriers you anticipate in your journey. This is also your first opportunity to get to know me, so feel free to ask me about my approach too.
