About Kelly

Hi, I’m Kelly. I've been a dietitian for 25 years. Pediatrics is my love and passion! Over the past 20 years, preterm term infants, term infants and children up to 18 years of age with highly complex medical pictures such as those with genetic anomalies, cardiac, GI, allergy, pulmonary and neurological disorders have been my focus. I specialize in managing growth and nutritional status in the setting of pediatric feeding difficulties, tube feedings and malnutrition. I advocate for the use of human milk. I also provide nutrition and wellness guidance for women through menopause. Men, I haven’t forgotten you. My mission is to support healthy families. Adult specialties included cardiac, type 2 diabetes and GI disorders.

Approach to care

The core of my approach is always patient/child and family focused. It is my job to meet you where you are. To help you take the steps toward maximizing your health and nutritional status and stay on the path to reach your goals. All patients come as their own unique puzzle with very different past experiences and future goals. I practice evidence based nutrition and take pride in helping my patients find realistic ways to work them into their daily life.

Your first session with Kelly

An in depth empathetic and non-judgemental conversation about your medical history, review any medical notes, documents and/or labs you provide. Review medications and supplements. We explore your past and current dietary history, exercise/activity levels, your experiences with health care providers and past dietitians. My goal is to get to know you and to learn where you are in the journey to reaching your ideal nutritional wellness. We will wrap up the first session with a couple specific tasks for the week, make sure you know how to reach me and set up future appointments to ensure there are consistent times that work into your schedule.
