More about Emily

 What is one thing you would want patients to know about you?

Just because I am a dietitian, it does NOT mean I follow a “perfect diet” in fact, there is no such thing as a perfect diet! What I love about being a dietitian is that I can help people become the best version of themselves by setting realistic goals and balancing their lifestyle. 

How do you go about making your treatment plans for FORM patients?

 My first visit is always centered around getting to know my patients. As we build their treatment plan, I take into consideration their food preferences, social life, cooking skills,  work, medical history, everything! 

Why do you love working with FORM patients?

I love their motivation. I love getting to know people and hearing their personal stories. I love that we get to follow up frequently.  We can all agree that changing behavior is challenging, and I am honored that I am able to support people on their journey.
