ADHD Nutritionists and Dietitians near Pittsburgh, PA

Too often, I see people equating being healthy with punishing themselves. I believe your healthiest life comes not from punishment but from caring for yourself in order to live your fullest (and longest/most energetic) life possible. With a background in behavioral psychology, I encourage my clients to find ways to make changes to their diet and overall lifestyle that not only makes them healthier but also helps them to feel more alive. Physical and mental health should exist in tandem, not at odds with each other.

It is not often we are encouraged to honor our bodies needs. We live in world that teaches us to "watch it" and "have it together", especially around weight and food. Unfortunately, this constant pressure to "be good" can play a role in constant dieting, restricting, binging, purging and an all or nothing attitude around exercise. Fortunately, we can make peace with food and our bodies again. Our approach of trauma informed nutrition counseling and coaching teaches non-diet eating and body wisdom skills to learn to trust and feel safe inside the body and manage chronic issues such as burned and stressed out, PCOS and gut health.

Hi! I’m Jo. I’ve been a pediatric dietitian for over five years and have worked with a diverse range of patients—from infants leaving the NICU to teenagers leaving for college. I speak with families for a variety of nutrition concerns, including managing picky/restrictive eating behaviors, poor growth, food allergies, celiac disease, irritable bowel disease, and both type 1 and 2 diabetes. Discussing weight and food choices can feel very personal for both parents and children; my role is to support the whole family and help make achieving nutrition goals as easy as possible.
