About Katherine
I am a registered dietitian who came into the field with a passion for sports and exercise, but ultimately found myself interested in clinical nutrition and ways to improve your health to help prevent or manage chronic diseases. I have been working in a hospital setting in a large teaching hospital since 2010. After working in-patient providing medical nutrition therapy for various medical conditions for a year, I worked in outpatient nutrition in a cardiology and cardiac rehabilitation clinic for 6 years. I then switched over to an endocrinology clinic for the past 8 years and work as a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. I have also worked for the past 3 years training individuals on the use of insulin pumps. My passion is helping individuals with diabetes or prediabetes to gain confidence in managing their blood sugars.
Approach to care
I work to assist individuals to make changes through education and awareness. I want to work with you to help you set goals that you feel are possible and unleash your own potential and confidence. I come from a clinical background and want to provide care that will help you improve your health with sustainable changes.
Your first session with Katherine
In your first session, we will get to know one another. We will spend a large part of the visit helping me to understand your goals, health history, preferences, and the direction you would like these visits to take you. We will set some small attainable goals to work on between each session.
