About Kelsey

Hi! I’m a registered dietitian who loves helping patients feel confident and supported in their nutrition decisions. I specialize in women’s health, pediatric nutrition, diabetes care, pre- and postnatal nutrition, and gestational diabetes, with additional experience in nutrition support, including enteral (tube feeding) and parenteral nutrition (TPN). I enjoy helping patients and families navigate both everyday and more complex nutrition needs in a way that feels approachable, supportive, and realistic.

Approach to care

My goal is for you to feel empowered and confident in your nutrition choices. I take an evidence-based approach, incorporate intuitive eating when appropriate, and value collaboration every step of the way. Together, we’ll create realistic, personalized goals that fit your life and support long-term success and a positive relationship with food.

Your first session with Kelsey

In your first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and talking through your health history, nutrition concerns, and goals. This is a supportive, judgment-free space where we’ll work together to identify priorities and create a personalized plan with clear, realistic steps you can start using right away.
