About Jessica

Hi, I’m Jessica. I’m a Registered Dietitian with seven years of experience, including clinical and dialysis settings. My clinical experience is mainly centered around my role in specialty clinics focusing on diabetes management for adults and pregnant individuals; blood pressure management; and individuals on dialysis. I earned my MPH in Public Health Nutrition from UC Berkeley, and I practice with an evidence-based, empathetic approach that meets you where you are. When I’m not helping patients, you’ll find me baking, exploring new cafes for a good latte, or running with my dog. I’m passionate about combining science with everyday foods, and I love empowering people to make healthier choices without ever feeling deprived. I’m excited to partner with you as we build healthier habits together.

Approach to care

Together, we'll forge a plan grounded in evidence-based practice, delivered with empathy and warmth. I believe in a weight-neutral, behavior-focused approach that honors your values and culture. Our work is direct and action-oriented: practical meal tweaks, realistic goals, and ongoing accountability that fits your life. I see you as a whole person and educate you so you can make informed choices that last.

Your first session with Jessica

Our first visit is a welcoming, no-pressure conversation about you. We'll review your medical history and recent lab work or biometrics, and I’ll listen deeply to your story, goals, likes, and concerns. We’ll map out a simple, realistic plan together, and you don’t need to have everything figured out yet. This is your time to be heard, and my goal is to leave you with clarity and a couple of next steps you feel good about.
