About Melissa

Hi! I am a registered dietitian specializing in obesity and weight management. With extensive experience guiding individuals through their weight loss and health journeys, I provide evidence-based, compassionate support tailored to each patients unique needs. Whether you are preparing for bariatric surgery, adjusting post op, or looking for a sustainable weight loss approach, I'm here to help. Let's work together to create a healthier future for you.

Approach to care

My approach to care is patient-centered, focusing on sustainable lifestyle changes, behavioral strategies, and nutritional interventions that promote long-term success. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where patients feel empowered to take control of their health. My counseling style is collaborative and education focused, ensuring you understand the "why" behind nutrition recommendations so you can make informed decisions that fit your lifestyle. When working with me, you can expect a structured, step-by-step approach that balances science with practical strategies. My goal is to help you build sustainable habits, overcome obstacles, and achieve lasting results. No matter where you are on your journey, I am committed to provdiing you the guidance and support you need to succeed.

Your first session with Melissa

Our first chat is all about getting to know you - your goals, challenges, and lifestyle. We will go over your health history, current habits, and any concerns you have. From there, I'll provide personalized nutrition guidance and an easy to follow plan to get started. You'll walk away with clear next steps and a better understanding of how we can work together to reach your goals. I know weight management can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. We can take this journey together - one step at a time! I look forward to meeting you!
