About Risa

Hi, I’m Risa! I’m a Registered Dietitian with 7 years of experience helping people improve their health through practical and personalized nutrition. I have worked with adults of all ages from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in supporting those with chronic conditions like kidney, heart, & liver disease, as well as type 2 diabetes. My approach is rooted in compassion, evidence-based care, and the belief that small changes can make a big difference.

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’m here to help you reach your health and wellness goals with a personalized and evidence-based approach. I’ll meet you where you are and together, wel'll find realistic, sustainable habits that fit your lifestyle and support your goals while you enjoy the foods you love.

Your first session with Risa

Most of the first session is about getting to know each other and gathering information about you. We’ll talk about what brought you to nutrition counseling and your health goals. I’ll also ask about your medical history, current eating habits, food preferences, allergies, and lifestyle. From there, we’ll work together to create a plan that feels realistic and sustainable to help you reach your goals.
