About Karen

As a Registered Dietitian with five years of experience, I help busy professionals build realistic, sustainable nutrition habits that fit their lifestyle. I earned my BS in Dietetics from Arizona State University and currently live in Scottsdale, Arizona. Outside of work, I recharge through hiking, cooking, traveling, and dancing to EDM with friends. My goal is to bring science-based guidance into the rhythm of your everyday life—without making it feel overwhelming or restrictive.

Approach to care

I center care on current research and practical skills, using evidence to inform clear, actionable steps. As an RD I prioritize education so you'll understand the why behind each recommendation. My style is warm and nonjudgmental, weight-neutral and behavior-focused, honoring the whole person including mental and lifestyle factors. We'll set realistic goals together, track progress, and make adjustments so lasting habits replace quick fixes.
