About Josie

Hi, I'm Josie. I'm an RD and LDN with an MS, and I have eight years of experience as a Registered Dietitian. I’ve worked in clinical hospital settings where science translates into practical, everyday guidance. My training in Family & Consumer Sciences helps me see nutrition as part of a bigger picture of health and family life. When I’m not at the bedside, you’ll find me kayaking, reading, or catching up with friends and family. I’m grateful for the chance to walk beside you as you build a healthier relationship with food.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is grounded in evidence-based practice and warm, empathetic listening. I translate current science into clear, doable steps and avoid quick fixes. I support Health At Every Size by focusing on sustainable behaviors rather than restrictive diets, and I see you as a whole person whose mental and emotional well-being matter as much as meals. Together we’ll set goals that fit your life, teaching you the why behind steps so you feel confident and capable. Education and collaboration are at the heart of lasting change.

Your first session with Josie

Our first appointment is all about you. We'll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics, explore your relationship with food, and establish short-term goals that feel doable. No need to have it all figured out beforehand; this is a collaborative conversation, not an exam. Together we’ll map out a simple plan for the next steps and set the tone for a supportive, nonjudgmental path forward. You'll leave with clarity about the next steps and a sense of what to expect in the weeks ahead.
