About Meredith

Hi, I'm Meredith, a Registered Dietitian currently based in Virginia. With 9 years of experience, I have had the privilege to work in clinical and hospital settings, a residential eating disorder facility, and private practice. I earned my BS in Dietetics from the University of Delaware and an MS in Management from Wilmington University. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and friends, being outdoors, and watching movies.

Approach to care

My care is grounded in evidence while staying human. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are. I combine science with empathy to help you feel seen and supported. We'll work together to create clear, doable steps, focusing on lasting habits rather than quick fixes. I practice through a Health at Every Size lens, honoring your body's signals and preferences while avoiding dieting culture. My approach is holistic, considering sleep, stress, activity, and meals as a whole, and I aim to educate you so you can make informed decisions on your own. We'll tailor plans to your life, values, and goals, and celebrate progress along the way.

Your first session with Meredith

Our first appointment will focus on you! We'll discuss your lifestyle, current nutrition practices, and your specific health goals. This is a low-pressure, judgment-free space where you don't need to have it all figured out yet. Think of it as a collaborative conversation designed to build a realistic starting plan that fits your life, and we'll agree on one or two manageable steps to begin.
