About Kaitlyn

(She/Her). Hi there and welcome! I'm Kaitlyn and I've been a dietitian for over a decade. Throughout my career, I've supported people of all ages as they work to make peace with food, rebuild trust in their bodies, or move through recovery from disordered eating and eating disorders. I'm also experienced in supporting families as they navigate nutrition or growth concerns. My role is to offer steady support and meet you where you are, without judgement, so you don't have to have to navigate this alone.

Approach to care

I'd say my approach is grounded in compassionate, evidence-based care and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience. I use a weight-inclusive, developmentally appropriate lens to support the people I work with in building sustainable, flexible, and peaceful relationships with food. Whether you're navigating mealtime struggles, working through recovery from disordered eating, or adjusting to a new season of life, I'm here to walk alongside you as we move toward progress that feels realistic and kind.

Your first session with Kaitlyn

In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and understanding what brought you here. I want to learn about your concerns, your goals, and what feels most important to you. You are the expert of your own journey, and I'm here to collaborate in a way that feels supportive for you. My aim is for you to leave our first meeting feeling heard, less overwhelmed and clear on where we're headed together.

Hobbies

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, spending quality time with friends and family, and soaking up warm days outdoors. I'm a bit of a homebody at heart and love slow mornings, cheering on my daughter at gymnastics meets, cuddling with my cat Luna, and finding gentle ways to move my body.
