About Tess
License #: DT85864My journey in nutrition and movement started at a young age. I have always had an affinity for food. I grew up an athlete and started to play competitive volleyball at the age of eight. I never fully understood the power of nutrition until after I my sports career ended though. After recovering from an eating disorder, relearning the power of nutrition, and rediscovering the joy of movement to fully celebrate all that my body could do for me, I knew it was my mission to give back. That’s a big reason I am as passionate about nutrition with my clients as I am today. I want to be the resource I didn’t know I needed then, but would have greatly benefited from as an active adolescent, growing into an active adult. With 8+ years of experience and background in higher level of care and outpatient eating disorder care and sports nutrition, giving back and teaching my clients how much their bodies’ do for them and how to nourish them is my life’s work and greatest gift!
My Therapeutic Approach
When you work with me, you'll find a dietitian who's not going to try to force you into anything, but will give you the nutrition knowledge, tools, and encouragement to make the changes YOU want to make in your relationship with food. Yes, I will challenge you to think differently about nutrition and wellness, but I will also meet you where you're at with ZERO judgement!
Who I Help Best
I am a licensed dietitian with years of experience working with people in eating disorder recovery, athletes, and the intersection of both. I am a life-long athlete as well as recovered from an eating disorder myself. Now I believe nutrition can be joyful and love sharing that with others. I also offer Medical Nutrition Therapy to support specific health conditions.
