About Karen

Hi I am Karen. I am a dietitian with 13+ years of experience, shaping how I support people in community health and beyond. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition (Dietetics) and work as an RD, which helps me blend science with real-life problem solving. Outside of sessions you'll often find me curled up with a good book, watching movies, plotting my next board game victory, or laughing through a day at an amusement park. I'm excited to meet clients and help them reach their goals with compassion and realism.

Approach to care

Good nutrition begins with clear information and a compassionate ear. I ground recommendations in current evidence while honoring your lived experience and goals. We will work together in a weight-neutral, Health At Every Size framework, focusing on sustainable habits rather than short-term fixes. I aim to be warm and direct, offering practical steps and accountability while teaching the why behind each change. We look at the whole picture, mental and physical, and build skills you can keep for life.

Your first session with Karen

We will take a relaxed, thorough look at where you are and where you'd like to go. We'll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you bring, then take a deep dive into your relationship with food so we can understand patterns, triggers, and strengths. Together we'll set short-term, manageable goals you feel ready to try. There's no pressure to have everything figured out, just bring your questions and honesty, and we'll map the next steps as a team.
