About Megan

Hi, I'm Megan, a Registered Dietitian based in Pittsburgh. I earned my MS in Nutrition and Dietetics from Messiah University and use evidence-based approaches in my practice. With two years of experience in clinical and outpatient settings, I’ve learned how to turn science into practical plans that fit real life. I hold the credentials RDN and LDN, and I’m grateful to support people as they navigate nutrition, health, and everyday choices. In my free time, I love cooking, baking, and walking my dog.

Approach to care

My care philosophy centers on meeting you where you are and building lasting habits, not chasing quick fixes. I ground our plan in current evidence, translating science into simple, doable steps you can act on this week. I bring warmth and empathy to every session, creating a judgment-free space where you feel heard and valued. I practice a weight-neutral, holistic approach that honors your sleep, stress, movement, and relationship with food, and I’ll educate you along the way so you can make informed choices that fit your life and values. We'll work together toward sustainable changes you can sustain long term.

Your first session with Megan

Our first appointment is a warm conversation about you and your goals. We'll review your medical history, discuss short-term objectives, and go over any recent lab work or biometrics so I understand where you are today. We’ll also start learning about nutrition together, exploring your current habits and preferences. There's no need to have everything ready; this is a low-pressure chance to share what matters most and to set a couple of small, achievable steps for the coming weeks.
