About Christine

Hi, I’m Christine, a Registered Dietitian with over 30 years of experience helping people build a healthier, more balanced relationship with food. I specialize in eating disorders, weight management (including medications), bariatric surgery, diabetes care, menopause, and FODMAP/SIBO-related digestive concerns. I’m also a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist with advanced training in adult weight management. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: you deserve to feel healthy, confident, and comfortable in your body—without rigid rules, guilt, or shame.

Approach to care

I offer a supportive, collaborative, and empowering approach, always meeting you where you are. My goal is to help you become your own health expert by identifying what truly works for you, turning helpful habits into sustainable routines, and recognizing progress along the way—big and small.

Your first session with Christine

Your first session is all about you. I’ll take time to understand your story, health history, eating patterns, and goals. We’ll also explore habits or thought patterns that may be influencing your relationship with food—sometimes in ways that aren’t immediately obvious. Together, we’ll begin creating realistic, sustainable plans tailored to your needs. If you’re looking for a dietitian who listens, understands, and partners with you every step of the way, I’d be honored to support you on your health journey.
