About Colleen

Thirty years in clinical care taught me how to translate complex medical needs into doable steps that fit real life. I earned a Bachelor's in Health Science at Worcester State College and completed the DPD at Framingham State College. My work in hospital settings shaped how I assess and problem-solve, and my training as an RDN and CDCES with LD licensure informs practical, safe plans. When I'm not seeing patients I recharge by hiking, cycling, traveling, and experimenting in the kitchen.

Approach to care

Science guides the recommendations I share, and empathy shapes how we put them into practice. I practice in a weight-neutral, Health At Every Size way, focusing on sustainable habits rather than quick fixes or diet culture. We'll set clear, action-oriented steps grounded in evidence, while I explain the why so you can make informed choices. My goal is to support the whole person, addressing nutrition, sleep, stress and lifestyle, and to teach skills that last.

Your first session with Colleen

In that first meeting we'll have a relaxed, thorough conversation where I review your medical history and listen to your priorities without judgment. Together we'll set one or two short-term, achievable goals and create a simple meal plan that fits your routine. You don't need to have everything figured out beforehand. We'll leave with clear next steps, practical strategies, and educational tools to help you move forward at a pace that feels right.
