About Katherine

Hello, my name is Katie! I’m a Registered Dietitian who’s passionate about helping people feel their best through simple, realistic nutrition. I love guiding clients toward healthy habits that truly fit their lifestyle, focusing on sustainable changes that lead to long-term success. I hold a master’s degree in nutrition and specialize in renal nutrition, but I also support clients in general wellness, weight management, and overall health goals.

Approach to care

My approach is supportive, positive, and personalized. I truly believe that nutrition should feel empowering—not overwhelming—and I’m here to help you build habits that make you feel good both physically and mentally. I meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, and work with you to create realistic goals that fit your lifestyle, preferences, and pace. Along the way, I’ll be your cheerleader and guide, celebrating your wins (big and small) and helping you navigate any challenges with encouragement and practical strategies. My goal is to help you feel healthier, more confident, and more empowered every day, so you can build a relationship with food that supports your long-term well-being.

Your first session with Katherine

In your first session with me, you can expect a relaxed, introductory conversation where I’ll get to know you—your background, eating habits, lifestyle, and your goals. It’s also a chance for us to connect as people and make sure you feel comfortable. You’re welcome to ask me anything during this time, too! My goal is for our first session to feel supportive, informative, and personalized just for you.
