About Kara
I am a Registered Dietitian and Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. I entered the field of nutrition because of my personal struggles with disordered eating in high school. Learning to develop a healthier relationship with food was a game changer for me. That experience sparked my passion for nutrition, and itās been driving me ever since. I have been working in weight management and diabetes for 25 years. My family is my North Star, I am an exercise enthusiast who loves to be lazy, and my stress go-to is Diet Coke (shhhh, don't tell anyone).
Approach to care
I strive to meet my patients where they are, focusing on clear, personalized SMART goals (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-sensitive). I believe in tailoring care to each individual and setting realistic expectations for outcomes. Using motivational interviewing, I collaborate with patients to develop practical strategies for success. I see the process as a marathon, not a sprintāa journey worth pacing. So, bring your snacks and magazinesāweāre in this together!

In the first session, we will review patient goals, lifestyles and dietary habits, medical history, assess nutrition knowledge, answer questions, create initial SMART goals and begin crafting the tailored plan.
