About Rebecca

Hello! I'm Rebecca, a Registered Dietitian with a strong clinical background. I have experience across a wide variety of settings including acute care, outpatient, bariatric surgery and weight loss clinics, as well as inpatient rehabilitation. My goal is to provide each patient evidenced-based, compassionate care. I take a holistic view and aim to take in to consideration not just the patient's symptoms and medical history, but also their emotional, social, and financial well-being, as well as their personal values.

Approach to care

I take a patient-centered approach to nutrition therapy. My goal is to educate and empower patients to take charge of their health through knowledge and support, while acknowledging and respecting each person's unique preferences, goals, and priorities.

Your first session with Rebecca

During our first session you can expect that we go through a comprehensive nutrition assessment. We will discuss your medical and diet history, eating behaviors, relationship with food (likes, dislikes, cravings, and any emotional or disordered eating patterns), and lifestyle. I will ask many in-depth questions about your past and present medical conditions, medications, supplements, allergies, dietary restrictions, and previous diet experiences in an effort to truly get to know you and your story. After the assessment, we will cover go over information that is intended to help you on your journey. From there we will jump into setting realistic short and long term goals tailored to your unique needs. I encourage you to bring any questions you have with you to our visit. I look forward to supporting you!
