About Katherine

Nutrition has been a guiding principle in my life as long as I can remember, and has shifted and changed over the years, shaping how I support people in Tacoma, WA where I currently live, and beyond. I earned an MS in Nutrition from Bastyr University and practice as an RDN, bringing experience from clinical hospital work, community health programs, managing SNAP education programs, and working with customers in a grocery store to help them make healthy choices. I love hiking, biking, reading, cooking, sewing, and spending time with friends and family, in addition to pleasing my feline friend. I’m passionate about helping clients reach their goals using a weight-neutral, sustainable approach.

Approach to care

A mix of evidence and empathy guide how I work. I use current research to inform practical, doable steps, keeping Health At Every Size principles at top of mind, so we can focus on behaviors and well-being, rather than weight. You’ll find a judgment-free space where your experiences are heard, and we’ll set clear, actionable goals together. I care about the whole person, including emotional and lifestyle factors, and I aim to teach skills that stick, with the goal of lasting behavior change.

Your first session with Katherine

Expect a relaxed, collaborative conversation that feels safe and practical. We’ll review your medical history, take a close look at your relationship with food, and explore what’s been working or not working. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out. Together we’ll identify one to two short-term goals and come up with a couple concrete steps you can try between sessions, so you leave with clarity and a plan that fits your life.
