Jessie is a registered dietitian who is passionate about providing nutrition counseling to individuals of all ages, genders, and identities. She is passionate about helping folks with eating disorders, chronic dieters, and those simply wishing to improve their relationship with food and their bodies. Jessie uses a HAES informed, non-diet approach to establish a pattern of eating that fits each client’s specific needs. She has experience working with clients with co-occurring diagnoses, including substance use disorder, ADHD, anxiety, depression, folks on the autism spectrum or with other neurodivergent tendencies. Jessie has personal experience working a 12-step program and is comfortable working with clients who are in recovery from various types of addictions. She believes that nutrition plays a vital role in managing mental and physical health conditions and hopes to provide a safe space for clients to feel comfortable discussing all aspects of health.
Jessie received her BA in communication and media studies from The University of Michigan and her post-bachelor certificate in dietetics from Wayne State University. During her dietetics training, Jessie completed a clinical rotation at St. John Ascension hospital where she spent much of her time in the behavioral health unit. In addition to nutrition counseling, Jessie has experience in long-term care, food service and adolescent eating disorder recovery programs.
Outside of helping her clients, Jessie loves spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys staying active with running, dancing and attending live music events, but also loves staying home curled up with her cat and a good book. Book recommendations are always welcome!
