About Colleen

Hi! I am a registered dietitian specialized in pediatric and adolescent nutrition. I have extensive experience working with children and their families navigate Gastrointestinal diseases and disorders along with feeding difficulties/ picky eaters. My career began working with adults in the hospital navigating various levels of rehabilitation, followed by the last few years working at a couple different Pediatric hospitals. At these Pediatric facilities I worked with patients and families to navigate medical nutrition therapy following hospital discharge. I am passionate in working with tiny humans/ adolescents and their families to find a personalized approach to their nutrition.

Approach to care

I approach care with my clients/ patients with an evidence based and individualized practice. Everyone has there own relationship and history with food and health. It is important that I learn about this relationship in order to adequately provide the best support and recommendations for you. In addition, I value a non-diet / intuitive eating approach to nutrition care in order to help build or keep a healthy relationship with patient and their food.

Your first session with Colleen

You can expect our first session together as a time to get to know each other. I am interested in learning about your own or child's experience and relationship with food. We will spend time discussing your goals and work together to create a starting plan to achieve these. My goal is for you to feel relaxed in our appointment to share your goals, what you have tried in past and what did not work for you. I hope to work together to find just the right nutrition plan for you!
