About Melissa

Hi, I’m Melissa and I’ve been a dietitian for over 12 years. I have experience working in corporate wellness, where I found true fulfillment in helping individuals build healthier lifestyles. My goal is to make nutrition both approachable and enjoyable, so it seamlessly fits into your daily routine and empowers you to live your best life. When I’m not working, I’m enjoying time with my family and more than likely planning a hiking trip to one of our beautiful National Parks.

Approach to care

My nutrition philosophy centers around making small, attainable changes to your diet that will help you build and sustain a healthy lifestyle. If you're feeling nervous about meeting with a dietitian, that’s perfectly okay! I meet you where you are on your wellness journey so we can work together to reach your nutrition goals. Nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated. All foods can fit into a balanced diet, and my goal is to teach you how to strike that balance—enjoying your favorite foods while also incorporating the nutrients that will help you achieve your goals.

Your first session with Melissa

Your first session will be all about getting to know each other. I want to learn more about you so we can work together to achieve your nutrition goals, whether that’s losing weight or increasing your energy levels. We'll discuss your medical history, meal patterns, hunger cues, food preferences, hobbies, and overall nutrition goals. I typically recommend focusing on one change at a time during our sessions to help you make sustainable lifestyle changes that last.
