About Christine

Hi, I'm Christine. I’m a Registered Dietitian (RDN, LD) with 28 years of experience, and I hold an MS in nutrition and science along with a BS in science. My career spans clinical and hospital settings, private practice, and home health, including long-term and short-term care and outpatient work. Beyond the clinic, I love cooking and dancing, and I bring that energy to every session. I believe food is medicine, and I’m dedicated to helping you build practical, sustainable habits that boost vitality day by day. I’m here to guide you with warmth, knowledge, and real-world strategies you can trust.

Approach to care

My care is grounded in evidence-based practice and a holistic view of health. I translate current science into clear, doable steps and tailor them to your life, goals, and preferences. I’m empathetic and warm, meeting you where you are without judgment, and I’m committed to a direct, action-oriented approach that helps you move forward with confidence. I embrace a Health at Every Size perspective, focusing on behaviors and well-being rather than dieting or numbers. Together, we’ll build sustainable changes that honor your whole self and your values, including your love of food and family.

Your first session with Christine

Our first appointment is a welcoming conversation that sets the stage for a collaborative relationship. We’ll review your medical history, biometrics or lab work, and any recent concerns to understand where you are today. We’ll also learn about your life, goals, and daily routines, including how your family fits in, so we can tailor a plan that fits you. Together we’ll establish short-term goals and outline what we will focus on in the next session. You don’t need to have everything figured out; just come as you are, and we’ll take it from there.
