About Marissa

My name is Marissa, and I am a Registered Dietitian with experience across many areas of nutrition, including weight management. My passion for this field began with my own family history. My mother struggled with obesity for many years, and bariatric surgery ultimately saved her life. Walking alongside her through that journey allowed me to see firsthand how powerful the right nutrition support, education, and compassion can be. Helping my mother navigate lifestyle changes and long-term health goals inspired me to pursue a career in nutrition.

Approach to care

I provide personalized, judgment-free nutrition care focused on realistic and sustainable change. I take the time to understand your health history, lifestyle, and goals so we can create an approach that fits your life—not a one-size-fits-all plan. My focus is on education, flexibility, and long-term success rather than restrictive dieting.

Your first session with Marissa

During your first session, we’ll review your health history, current habits, and goals. Together, we’ll identify priorities and create a simple, personalized plan with practical next steps. My goal is for you to leave feeling supported, informed, and confident about your path forward.
