Hi! My name is Jessie, and I'm a Dietitian with 10+ years of experience who truly loves my career! I love helping clients (like you) discover practical ways to eat well, feel healthy, prevent disease, reach goals, and love life! My specialties are medical nutrition therapy for kidney health and diabetes. My grandfather had both conditions so I can empathize with others with either of these conditions, along with their caretakers/support members. I understand wanting the chocolate cake but avoiding it and other foods out of fear. I understand all the numbers. I understand the ups and downs of battling chronic diseases.

Through evidence-based practice and individualized care, Faith aims to help patients form positive relationships with food that will promote long-lasting healthy habits.

With over 20 years of experience as a registered dietitian nutritionist, I am dedicated to empowering individuals like you to take charge of their health.

As an eating disorder specialized registered dietitian, it's one of my core values for every one of my clients to feel their voice is respected and their needs are honored during the recovery process. I will support you with your nutrition targets while being mindful of psychological and medical comorbidities that can complicate nutrition in recovery. I tailor all recommendations in consideration of your food sensitivities, variety limitations, and GI issues (whether due to the eating disorder or preexisting), such as constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and intolerances.

I understand you might feel unsure about meeting with a dietitian, especially if you struggle with any type of eating disorder behaviors. I want you to know that you aren't alone, so many clients feel this way in the beginning. I am here to create a supportive, non-judgmental, and safe environment by first spending the time to get to know you and understand what you need on your individual journey to reach your nutritional goals. I love educating my clients on the gut-brain connection to support any co-occurring digestive issues that may be present and further complicating your journey towards making peace with food.
