About Leslie

Hi, I'm Leslie. I am a Registered Dietitian with 9 years of experience supporting adult men and women from all walks of life, in the hospital setting, and oncology clinics. I have spent time living in South America and traveling to Mexico to explore the Latin American culture and cuisine. My background includes working closely with individuals navigating cancer treatment and survivorship, as well as managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart and liver disease, and women’s health concerns including menopause and PCOS. I am passionate about helping others find their footing on a strong foundation with which to feel healthier, stronger, and more confident. I especially enjoy working with people who feel overwhelmed by nutrition advice or frustrated by diets that haven’t worked in the past. My goal is to help you cut through the noise and find an approach that truly fits your life.

Approach to care

My approach to nutrition is rooted in evidence-based science and broken down into bite-sized, practical steps that fit your real life. I work collaboratively with you to set goals, understand what motivates you, and navigate challenges together—while cheering you on along the way. I believe my role is to clear away the brush to help you see other paths, but you are in the driver's seat and decide which path to take next on each step of the journey. I provide compassionate, non-diet nutrition care and do not believe in quick fixes, strict diets, or cookie-cutter meal plans. Instead, I focus on helping you build sustainable skills and behaviors that support change for many more years to come.

Your first session with Leslie

In our first session together I will discuss what to expect from the program in more detail and spend time getting to know you. In order to help me tailor my support to you as a unique individual, I will take time to get to know your day to day life, hobbies, challenges, and what makes you tick. We will review your medical history and labs, if available, so I can better understand your health. In the last 15-20 minutes we will work together on setting some short term goals and ways we can start creating change.
