About Laura

Hi, I'm Laura. I'm a Registered Dietitian with seven years of experience and dual MS degrees in Medical Nutrition and Nutrition Science. I've worked in clinical and hospital settings, where I learned that lasting change comes from clear guidance, practical steps, and steady support. I'm certified as CNSC and LD, and I enjoy translating science into everyday routines you can actually sustain. Outside of work, you'll find me puzzling through a crossword, walking or jogging 5-10K, reading, or soaking up time at the beach. I'm glad you're here, and I'll meet you where you are.

Approach to care

As a clinician, my care philosophy centers on collaboration, evidence, and long-term resilience. I base recommendations on current science and proven protocols, but I deliver them with warmth and without judgment. I'll help you build practical skills for everyday life, keeping goals clear, achievable, and action oriented. I embrace Health At Every Size as a guiding principle, focusing on behaviors and well-being rather than a number on the scale. My approach is holistic, educational, and truly patient-centered, supporting mental, emotional, and physical health as interconnected parts of your life.

Your first session with Laura

Our first appointment is a warm, open conversation about you. We'll review your medical history, lab work, and biometrics in a way that feels safe and collaborative. You don't need to have everything figured out yet; just show up as you are. Together we'll establish short-term goals that are realistic and meaningful, and I'll outline the steps we'll take to reach them. Most importantly, you'll leave the session with a clear sense of direction and confidence in the plan we build together.
