About Kristin

Hi there! I’m Kristin, a Registered Dietitian with five years of work experience. I currently work full-time in an outpatient setting affiliated with a hospital system. Previously, I have also worked in hospitals, acute rehab, inpatient eating disorders, gyms, and even a few kitchens! In these settings, I’ve learned how nutrition shows up in real life for people with busy schedules, medical concerns, and health goals. Meeting you where you're at is my hope, as well as helping you on your health journey. When I’m not meeting with clients, you’ll find me practicing aerial and circus arts, drumming, trying new cuisines, thinking about Halloween, and/or spending time with loved ones.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is built on HAES, evidence-based practice, and a warm, empathetic approach. I believe nutrition should support you in all areas of your life. This is a fad diet-free zone!! We'll work together to turn nutrition into practical steps that fit your schedule and preferences, focusing on sustainable habits rather than quick fixes. Together we’ll honor your body, values, and goals while building lasting health.

Your first session with Kristin

Our first appointment is a warm, judgment-free conversation about you. We'll review your medical history and medications, then take a deep dive into your relationship with food and daily routines. We will establish short-term goals that feel doable and relevant to your life. We are a team; you are the driver of your success, and I just have the directions and map from the passenger seat. Together we'll navigate meaningful changes to your life, and set a plan that respects your pace and helps you feel more confident in your choices.
