About Katherine

Hi! My name is Kate. I have been a dietitian for 2 years and some change. I got my start at Johns Hopkins Bayview where I covered medical floors and ICUs seeing a broad range of patients with various disease types. I also worked closely with oncology patients in the outpatient clinic. Lately, I work in Long-term care/short-term rehab. I am looking forward to diving deeper into nutrition education and exploring emerging topics/trends with patients. Let me help you achieve your goals and have some fun along the way!

Approach to care

I want to build a close relationship with my patients. There's no 'one size fits all' for nutrition. Generally, I like to start off sessions by gathering tons of history regarding nutrition/lifestyle/background knowledge. Then I will dive into nutrition education, lastly we will set personal SMART goals and assess your comfortability!

Your first session with Katherine

In your first session expect....Lots of questions! I want to learn all about you and meet you where you are to provide the best personalized approach to care. We can find a sustainable/realistic approach to meeting your goals. ABSOLUTE NO JUDGEMENT ZONE! Come prepared to discuss what you hope to obtain from seeing an RD. Most of all, come as you are. Don't stress, I want to provide a comfortable space where we can motivate eachother, learn together, and express our honest emotions/feelings.
