About Kara

Hi, I’m an outpatient dietitian who is passionate about helping people feel more confident and supported in their health journey. I currently work with individuals managing conditions such as diabetes and high cholesterol, as well as those preparing for or recovering from bariatric surgery. I understand the difficulty that comes with eating and portioning food, and want to help you make small realistic changes that you will find sustainable in your daily life. My goal is to provide guidance that is practical, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs, so you feel supported and empowered throughout your journey.

Approach to care

My approach to care is patient-centered and collaborative. I believe nutrition should be flexible, achievable, and aligned with your lifestyle and goals. Rather than focusing on perfection, we focus on progress—building habits that support long-term health while respecting your preferences, challenges, and lived experiences. Small changes lead to big results. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard and confident in the plan we create together.

Your first session with Kara

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and start building a plan that feels right for you. We’ll talk about your health history, current concerns, goals, and what your day-to-day routine looks like. There’s no pressure to be perfect or have everything figured out—this is simply a conversation focused on understanding you and what support you’re looking for. By the end of the session, we’ll identify a few realistic, achievable next steps and begin creating a personalized plan you can feel confident about. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, supported, and clear on where to start.
