About Nicole

I enjoy nutrition counseling because it allows me to empower individuals with the knowledge and confidence to improve their health. I began practicing as a dietitian after completing my dietetic internship, while continuing to pursue my Master of Science in Nutrition Specialization. I've practiced as a dietitian in a hospital, community, and outpatient setting to provide evidence based practice for individuals with nutrition disorders. I bring positive energy during my sessions to help individuals build sustainable habits and improve their relationship with food. During my personal time, I enjoy cooking, gardening, reading, traveling, and staying active.

Approach to care

My approach to nutrition is grounded in current evidence and practical strategies. I utilize a "Health At Every Size" framework, so we can focus on behavior change, overall well-being, and realistic goals in a supportive, judgement-free space. Building a healthy relationship with food is just as important as meeting clinical goals.

Your first session with Nicole

In your first session, expect a calm, collaborative conversation where we get organized and set a realistic path forward. We'll review your medical history, lab results and biometrics, and any medications or supplements you take. I will learn about your eating patterns, food preferences, and cultural food practices. As time allows, we will discuss practical strategies, such as grocery tips, balanced snack and meal ideas, as well as exercise guidance. Continuous nutrition education and recommendations will be provided in follow up appointments.
