About Cait

As a registered dietitian specializing in pediatric nutrition, I'm passionate about helping children thrive. My extensive experience spans the entire life cycle, from birth to 18 years, with a dedicated focus on optimizing growth and development. My experience across nearly all pediatric subspecialties provides me with a comprehensive understanding of children's nutritional needs. From navigating infant feeding difficulties and gastrointestinal issues to managing tube feeds and supporting children with complex conditions, I'm here to assist you and your child in achieving their optimal nutritional intake.

Approach to care

I am dedicated to fostering well-being and promoting healthy lifestyles. I strive to empower individuals to make informed choices and achieve their wellness goals while maintaining a heathy relationship with food!

Your first session with Cait

For your first session, I will introduce myself to you and/or your child and explain the role of a dietitian. I'll ask what your concerns leading you to meet with me are and then we'll review a dietary recall of what a typical day is for you/your little one. I then may provide some education and we'll come up with 1-2 goals together.
