About Kristen

I've been a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist since 2008, and got my Master's in Food Science and Human Nutrition at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO. I have practiced nutrition counseling in a variety of settings, including clinical settings and employee wellness. I was also the nutrition director for a school district in Colorado for seven years! I loved connecting students with healthy and local foods. I am passionate about helping people improve their health and well-being through improved nutrition, access to nutritious foods, and skills to prepare healthful meals.

Approach to care

We will start this journey from where you currently stand. I will use an empathetic, motivational-interview approach to get to know your perspective, and work with you to map out your short-term and long-term goals. Along the way, I will empower you with knowledge, resources, and skills to build up your confidence. For instance, we will take a look at your eating habits and preferences, and learn about simple, healthful foods that you can start trying and preparing. I will provide sound nutrition counseling grounded in evidence-based research. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to achieve your goals!

Your first session with Kristen

In our first session, I'll introduce myself and will take time to get to you know you. I will guide you through a conversation about your health history, lifestyle, and nutrition. After getting a big picture, we'll start to identify short-term and long-term goals and discuss challenges and supports in meeting your goals. You'll be able to ask questions! I will start to equip you with knowledge and skills to build your confidence.
