About Lauren

Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m a registered dietitian who loves helping people feel more confident and comfortable with food. I’ve worked with many different patients—from kids and teens navigating eating disorders, GI concerns, diabetes, growth challenges, and autoimmune conditions, to adults managing cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or simply wanting support with weight and overall health. No matter your age or background, my focus is on meeting you where you are and working together to create a plan that feels doable, supportive, and sustainable. I believe nutrition shouldn’t feel overwhelming—it should feel like a positive step toward feeling your best.

Approach to care

I believe nutrition care works best when it’s personalized and collaborative. I take time to listen to your story, understand your lifestyle, and learn what’s most important to you. From there, we’ll create a plan that feels flexible, realistic, and sustainable—never rigid or overwhelming. My goal is to celebrate progress along the way and support you in building confidence and balance with food through medical nutrition therapy and counseling.

Your first session with Lauren

In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know you—your health history, daily routines, food preferences, and goals. Think of it as a conversation, hanging out with a friend! Together, we’ll start building a personalized plan that feels realistic and supportive, not overwhelming. My goal is to help you leave our session feeling encouraged, understood, and confident about the small, attainable steps we’ll take toward your success.
