About Justina
Hello! I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) specializing in diabetes management, blood glucose control, and metabolic health. I currently practice full-time in a clinical outpatient setting in Diabetes and Endocrinology, where I work directly with individuals navigating diabetes and related health concerns. This hands-on experience allows me to bring practical, evidence-based guidance to every session. Patients trust me to help them reach their goals because I combine specialized expertise with a personalized, realistic approach to care. Managing nutrition and health alongside everyday responsibilities can be challenging, and I focus on helping build sustainable habits that fit your life rather than relying on restrictive or one-size-fits-all plans.
Approach to care
My approach is collaborative and empowering. We work together to set meaningful goals, address barriers, and translate nutrition science into clear, manageable steps you can confidently apply day-to-day. Working with me means receiving tailored support rooted in clinical experience, mutual respect, and partnership. My counseling style is warm, supportive, and non-judgmental. I prioritize listening first, meeting you where you are, and creating a comfortable environment where questions are welcomed and progress is celebrated. Whether you're newly diagnosed, refining long-term management strategies, or seeking accountability, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Areas I commonly support include type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, insulin resistance, blood sugar pattern management, weight support, heart-healthy nutrition.
Your first session with Justina
In our first session, we'll focus on understanding you as a whole person- your health history, daily routine, food preferences, and goals. I take time to listen so recommendations are tailored to your lifestyle, whether you're managing diabetes or simply working toward better overall health. Drawing on my experience as a diabetes educator/dietitian, I connect nutrition strategies to real-world outcomes like improved blood sugar stability, energy, and sustainable habits. Together, we'll identify challenges, set practical goals, and outline clear next steps to build momentum. Before we finish, I'll explain what to expect moving forward and establish a follow-up plan that provides the right level of support and accountability. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, confident, and ready to take meaningful action.
