About Risa

Hi, I’m Risa! I’m a Registered Dietitian with 7 years of experience helping people improve their health through nutrition. I’ve worked with adults of all ages and backgrounds. I specialize in helping people manage chronic conditions like kidney, heart, and liver disease, as well as type 2 diabetes. I care about making nutrition simple and realistic. I believe that even small changes can lead to big improvements in health.

Approach to care

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition—everyone’s different, and that’s a good thing! I’ll meet you where you are and help you build habits that fit your life, support your health, and let you enjoy the foods you love. My goal is to take away the stress and confusion around food, and give you a plan that feels doable and empowering.

Your first session with Risa

Our first session is about getting to know you. We’ll talk about what brought you here, your health concerns, and your goals. I’ll also ask about your medical history, eating habits, food preferences, and lifestyle. Then, together we’ll create a plan that feels realistic and sets you up for success.
