About Jussara

Hi, I’m Jussara. I’m a Registered Dietitian with 13 years of experience and a passion for helping people build healthier relationships with food. As a Florida girl at heart, I earned my MPH from the University of South Florida and a BS in Food and Nutrition from Florida State University. My career spans clinical and hospital settings, community health, and oncology nutrition, with a focus on breast and gynecologic cancer care. When I’m not working, you’ll find me at a sporting event, in the kitchen trying new recipes, playing tennis, or enjoying a good audiobook and a puzzle. I value authentic connection and meeting you where you are.

Approach to care

My care philosophy centers on collaboration, compassion, and lasting change. I ground my practice in current, evidence-based approaches and we tailor recommendations to fit your real life. I lead with warmth and a nonjudgmental stance, inviting questions so you feel heard and supported. I work from a Health At Every Size (HAES) mindset, focusing on habits and well-being rather than restrictive dieting or chasing a number.

Your first session with Jussara

Our first appointment should be completely focused on you and how we can work together to meet your goals. We'll review your medical history, current routines, explore your relationship with food, and establish short-term goals that feel achievable. I want to hear what brings you to meet with a dietitian and what success looks like for you. You don't need to have it all figured out yet-- we’ll figure it out together.
