About Karen

Hi! I have been a dietitian for 25 years. My jobs have included hospitals, universities, research, businesses, churches and clinics. I am blessed to have learned from many wonderful mentors over the years. I enjoy helping people and moving all of us towards better health. I am a lifelong learner and love to keep my nutrition skills evidence based. My family keeps me busy with a husband, two grown boys, parents and brother. I try to stay involved in my church and community as much as possible!

Approach to care

I meet you where you are in life! I am always researching and learning from others the best approaches to healthy behavioral changes. I can provide structure or general guidance for you to achieve your health goals. I move one step at a time so that you will feel confident and comfortable moving in a healthy direction!

Your first session with Karen

The first session will include getting to know you and you getting to know me to see if we are a good match! I will gather background information on your health concerns and medical history. We will set do-able goals and revisit those goals and set more in future appointments.
