About Claire

Hello! I am ready to empower you in the hopes of reaching your nutrition goals! My experience as a registered dietitian includes, but is not limited to, foodservice, critical care, long term care, disordered eating/eating disorders, chronic disease management, weight management, and outpatient nutrition counseling. Working with clients one on one in an outpatient setting is what I enjoy most about being a dietitian. We can collaborate together to find how to achieve your nutrition goals, in a personalized but evidence-based approach.

Approach to care

I will support you by being realistic and understanding. This means setting small, reasonable goals that we will build upon over time, so that change does not feel overwhelming. We will work as a team to overcome any challenges that might be standing in the way of your nutrition goals. I always strive to provide a positive environment by focusing on your strengths and wins each meeting. My goal is to provide support to help you make your own healthy choices - and be confident in those choices!

Your first session with Claire

The first session will be an opportunity to get to know you as an individual. Discussing your likes/dislikes, habits, thoughts, routine etc. when it comes to food and nutrition can make your health journey specific to you. We can also set some long term goals and talk about what is motivating you to focus on your health when it comes to nutrition.

Education

BSN in Nutrition and Dietetics, MS in Health Promotion Programs
