About Tyler

Hey there! My name is Tyler, and I'm so excited to meet you! I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise. Throughout my career, my goal has always been to learn as much about nutrition as possible, so that I can help better the lives of others. This passion has led me through many different areas of nutrition as well as allowed me to learn from a diverse group of people. From hospitals to home-based primary care, and the occasional family member's odd question from Facebook, I've learned so much, and continue to learn more every day.

Approach to care

I believe that nutrition care should be rooted in your unique life experiences. I take a client-centered approach, working with each individual to create realistic, sustainable nutrition strategies that align with their goals, preferences, culture, and lifestyle. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and confident in making informed nutrition choices. Everyone is different, and how they achieve success is just as special, because for me, there's no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" plan!

Your first session with Tyler

Our first session is all about you! I'll ask questions to learn more about your typical nutrition routines such as your health history, relationship with food, daily routines, and challenges. If you're worried about having some "not so great" habits, don't be. I'm here to help you meet your long-term nutrition goals without unnecessary food restrictions or judgment. I'm certainly not perfect, so who am I to judge? Together, we'll develop an individualized nutrition plan that is evidence-based, empowering, and uniquely yours. Thanks for reading, and I can't wait to help you get started on your nutrition journey!
