About Colleen
Hi, Iām Colleen. With 40 years as a Registered Dietitian, I bring both science and warmth to every client conversation. I earned a BS in Nutrition from Penn State and a Master of Education from Marywood University. My career has included educational settings where clear teaching and practical guidance mattered most, and Iāve carried that approach into nutrition care every day. I hold the RD credential along with LDN and MEd, and I love translating evidence into doable steps. Outside of work, youāll find me hiking, biking, weight training, cooking, sewing, gardening, and enjoying vintage finds and repurposing projects. Iām here to support a holistic, sustainable path to health.
Approach to care
My care philosophy is simple: weāre in this together with evidence-based practice and a warm, empathetic approach. I translate science into clear, doable steps and stay direct about what will move the needle. I practice a weight-neutral, HAES-inspired approach, focusing on sustainable habits and how you feel, not just a number. Weāll consider your whole life and preferences, weaving nutrition into your story. Education is central so you can confidently shape decisions long after our sessions, and youāll always have a partner in this process.
Your first session with Colleen
Our first appointment is all about you. Weāll review your medical history and any recent lab work or biometrics, discuss your daily routines, your goals, and what has felt challenging. Thereās no need to have it all figured out before we meet. Itās a collaboration, not an exam, and weāll set 1ā2 realistic steps to start this week. Youāll leave with a sense of whether weāre the right fit and a clear sense of the next best move in a low-pressure, supportive space, ready to begin together.
