About Nicole

Hi, I'm Nicole. I bring 4 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian and an MA in Dietetics from University Oklahoma to my work in primary care outpatient settings. I love helping people turn nutrition into practical, sustainable habits. I’m credentialed as both an RD and an RDN, which keeps me current with the science while staying warm and human in every interaction. Outside the clinic, you’ll often find me cooking, tending my garden, puzzling, geocaching, hiking, or thrifting at estate sales. I’m a people person who believes every patient deserves a supportive, collaborative space.

Approach to care

My approach blends evidence-based practice, empathy, and partnership. We'll explore your relationship with food within your life, goals, and values. We translate science into clear, doable steps and keep you moving with practical check-ins. I practice a weight-neutral, HAES-inspired mindset, emphasizing behaviors and wellbeing over any number. Holistic care means looking at sleep, stress, mood, and routines as part of your nutrition journey, and I educate you so you can make informed choices long term.

Your first session with Nicole

Our first session is a warm, low-pressure conversation focused on you. We'll take time to get to know your history, daily routines, goals, and what has and hasn't worked before. You don't need to have it all figured out yet, together we'll map a realistic plan. We'll establish 1 or 2 short-term goals to gain momentum and I’ll share simple, sustainable steps you can begin this week. You deserve to feel supported and heard from the moment you walk in.
