About Stephanie

Nutrition has been my compass throughout seven years working as a registered dietitian. With a BS in Human Nutrition Sciences, I’ve worked in hospitals, private practice, and within the Department of Veteran Affairs providing outpatient nutrition counseling, which taught me to adapt evidence-based care to medical complexity and real life. I genuinely enjoy connecting with patients and their loved ones. When I’m off the clock you’ll find me walking my dog, soaking up sunshine, practicing yoga, listening to music, or laughing with family and friends.

Approach to care

Food is a powerful form of self care, and I ground every recommendation in current science while keeping empathy at the center. I practice from a weight-neutral, behavior-focused lens, so we focus on sustainable habits instead of numbers on a scale. Together we’ll translate research into clear, practical steps, track what works, and adjust without shame. I take a whole-person view, addressing lifestyle, sleep, and stress management, and I teach skills so you can make informed choices that last.

Your first session with Stephanie

Expect a relaxed, low-pressure conversation where we’ll get to know each other and review your medical history. We’ll take a deep dive into your relationship with food, talk about wins and frustrations, and establish one or two short-term goals that feel doable. You don’t need to have every answer or overthink each bite. We’ll build a science-backed, compassionate plan together that fits your life and supports lasting change.
