About Valerie

As a dietitian, I have experience in clinical inpatient/outpatient settings, diabetes education, and corporate wellness. I live and work in Idaho, where I enjoy growing, cooking, discussing, and sharing food with others. I spend as much time as I can on the floor with my grandkids and my two zany dogs, Jax and Zito. I see most clients in my private practice in person; I am excited to have the opportunity to help more people through Nourish.

Approach to care

Everyone has a different understanding of health and how to improve it. There are many influences that impact food and lifestyle choices: the environment around you, family, friends, and financial situation. My approach is respectful of the individual and their health goals and challenges. I don't have just one strategy or approach. I provide evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle counseling, encouraging progress over perfection. Every meal, every snack, every day presents another opportunity to practice your desired health habits. It's my job and privilege to help each person who works with me attain their best health.

Your first session with Valerie

We will get to know each other. I will ask you a lot of questions. I want to know what your typical day is like. What are your struggles? What do you want for your future self? At the end of the session, you will have some habit-shaping goals (that you select) to work on until our next meeting. I'm happy to help you with accountability and provide practical nutrition and lifestyle suggestions.
