About Kathleen

Hi, I'm Kathleen. I'm a Registered Dietitian with 15 years of experience. I earned my BS in Nutrition & Dietetics from the University of Pittsburgh and an MPH in Public Health Nutrition from West Chester University. I've worked in private practice and community health, and I bring a practical, education-forward mindset to support lasting change. Outside of work, I love traveling, hiking, knitting, baking, and spending time with my family, friends, and dog. I am a sucker for good coffee shops and dogs of all kinds.

Approach to care

I believe care should be evidence-based and collaborative. My practice blends the latest nutrition science with practical steps you can actually do. We'll work together to understand your goals, routines, and your relationship with food, because lasting change happens through small, sustainable shifts. I practice with empathy and warmth, meeting you where you are without judgment. I encourage focusing on behaviors and well being rather than dieting culture. Education is a cornerstone, empowering you to make informed choices that fit your life. With my MPH background, I bring a public health lens to personalize plans that work in the real world.

Your first session with Kathleen

Think of our first session as a conversation, not an exam. Our time is about you and your goals, your medical history, and your relationship with food. We'll review lab work and biometrics together and translate what they mean for your daily life. I’ll share clear, actionable steps and together we’ll set a couple of realistic goals to start with. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out beforehand; you don’t need to be perfect, just show up as you are, and we’ll build from there.
