About McKenna

Hi, I'm McKenna! I'm a Registered Dietitian with 1 year of experience and a passion for helping people understand food in a way that fits their life. I earned an MPH in Nutrition and a BA in Dietetics from Utah State University, which informs my evidence-based, practical approach. I am recently licensed, and the majority of my experience comes from my internships with hospitals, community centers, and private practice, so I bring a broad perspective to care. When I'm not at the desk, you'll often find me running, getting lost in a good book, or cooking something new for my little family. I love connecting with people and helping them find answers to their nutrition questions, making small changes that boost their confidence and well-being.

Approach to care

Together, we’ll build a plan grounded in current research and real life. I approach care with empathy and warmth, meeting you where you are without judgment. My practice blends clear, actionable steps with a holistic view of health that honors your mental and physical well-being. I value Intuitive Eating and Health At Every Size (HAES) and focus on sustainable behavior change over quick fixes. You’ll learn why certain foods feel right for your body, and we’ll tailor strategies that fit your schedule, preferences, and values, so you feel capable and informed.

Your first session with McKenna

Our first session is a time to focus on you. We'll talk about your medical history, current relationship with food, and goals in a warm, non-judgmental space. You don't need to have it all figured out—just come as you are! We'll explore your short-term goals and set a couple of realistic steps to start. Remember, this is a collaboration; we'll pace things to fit your life and build a foundation you can stick with.
