About Colleen

Hi, I’m 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 I’ve 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, you’ll find me hiking, biking, weight training, cooking, sewing, gardening, and enjoying vintage finds and repurposing projects. I’m here to support a holistic, sustainable path to health.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is simple: we’re 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. We’ll 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 you’ll always have a partner in this process.

Your first session with Colleen

Our first appointment is all about you. We’ll review your medical history and any recent lab work or biometrics, discuss your daily routines, your goals, and what has felt challenging. There’s no need to have it all figured out before we meet. It’s a collaboration, not an exam, and we’ll set 1–2 realistic steps to start this week. You’ll leave with a sense of whether we’re the right fit and a clear sense of the next best move in a low-pressure, supportive space, ready to begin together.
