About Mary
Hi, I'm Mary, a Registered Dietitian based in Lemont, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago!). I bring 17 years of experience across clinical and hospital care, corporate wellness, and outpatient diabetes and wellness clinics. I earned my BS in Dietetics at The University of Wisconsin -Madison. I work with patients who want practical, science-based guidance that fits real life. I'm a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) and I love helping people build healthier routines to take control of their diabetes instead of diabetes taking control of them! When I'm not seeing patients, you'll find me running, on my Peloton, doing Pilates and staying active with my 3 kids. I'm grateful to support you where you are today.
Approach to care
My care philosophy is rooted in evidence-based practice and a warm, collaborative approach. I believe in empowering you with knowledge and practical steps that fit your life, not a one-size-fits-all plan. We'll work together to translate current science into sustainable habits, with Health At Every Size in mind and a focus on behavior, not dieting culture. I respect where you are and what you value, and I'll be here to guide you with clear next steps, accountability, and reassurance that lasting health is possible at your pace. The whole person matters.
Your first session with Mary
Our first session is all about you. We'll start by getting to know your food likes and dislikes, whether you enjoy cooking or prefer takeout, and where you shop for groceries, along with a bit of your medical history. This is a low-pressure, nonjudgmental conversation designed to help us build a plan that fits your life. You don't need to have everything figured out yet; together we'll explore what matters most and set one or two realistic goals to start. I'm excited to meet you.
