About Nicole

Hey there! My name is Nicole and I’m a Registered Dietitian (RD) with over six years of clinical experience in the outpatient setting, supporting individuals across a wide range of health concerns—including weight management, diabetes, heart health, cancer, ALS, transplant, GI conditions, and general wellness. My passion lies in a culinary-based approach to nutrition. I believe the fusion of nutrition counseling and culinary nutrition is key to long-term success—combining personalized, science-backed guidance with practical, delicious ways to apply it in your everyday life. When we work together, you can expect support, clarity, and recommendations that make sense not just on paper, but in your kitchen! Outside of client care, I work part-time as a barista, and I enjoy quality time with my loved ones, reading, and “developing my palate” at new restaurants or in my own kitchen!

Approach to care

At the heart of my work is listening. I strive to create a space where you can feel comfortable sharing your successes, challenges, and everything in between. My goal is to be a trusted member of your care team—someone who hears you, asks the right questions, and helps get to the root of what’s really going on with your nutrition. As an educator, I take time to understand your baseline knowledge and explain the WHY behind each recommendation, so nutrition feels empowering rather than overwhelming. Over the years, working with diverse populations has strengthened my clinical judgment and reinforced the importance of slowing down, individualizing care, and focusing on realistic, evidence-based solutions that are sustainable in daily life.

Your first session with Nicole

Our first appointment together is all about you! We’ll review your medical history, your reasons for making the appointment, your long term goals, your current barriers to success, food preferences, your daily habits and food intake, what has helped you in the past/what didn't, as well as your expectations for me as your new dietitian. Together we’ll establish a detailed nutrition plan that suits your routine and your health goals! Thank you for the bravery you have shown in searching for help and for the time you have committed to choosing an RD that fits you best. If that RD happens to be me, I cannot wait to work with you!
