About Marissa
Hi, I’m Marissa! I’m a registered dietitian who is passionate about helping individuals build a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food. Whether you’re struggling with disordered eating patterns, managing a medical condition, or simply looking to improve your overall nutrition and well-being, I’m here to walk alongside you with a compassionate, individualized approach. Together, we’ll create a plan that truly fits your needs, lifestyle, and goals.
Approach to care
My approach to care is weight-inclusive, nonjudgmental, and rooted in supporting both physical and mental well-being. I work from a place of compassion and curiosity, helping clients move away from rigid food rules and toward sustainable, flexible habits. I strive to create a safe space where you feel heard and supported. Together, we’ll explore practical nutrition strategies that support your goals while honoring your unique needs, preferences, and lived experiences.
Your first session with Marissa
In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and building a strong foundation for our work together. I’ll ask about your history with food, eating patterns, body image, movement, and any current challenges you’re facing. From there, we’ll begin creating a personalized roadmap that aligns with your goals and supports your overall well-being. You’ll leave the session with clear next steps and a plan that feels realistic and supportive for where you are right now.
