I have a passion for helping individuals and families develop their own unique set of healthy lifestyle changes. I have over 14 years of experience in pediatrics and eating disorders as well.

"Eat Smart, Live Well" is my motto - a really practical and fun way to help you achieve great health! I believe in holistic approach to nutrition - wholesome, natural, minimally processed foods. Not fad diets, diet pills, or quick weight-loss gimmicks. A well-balanced, nutritious diet doesn't have to be a punishment. You can eat smart AND enjoy it too. I would love to show you how!

I work with adolescents and adults who are hoping to build a better relationship with food and their bodies. I spent 7 years working in a facility that provided inpatient, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient treatment for people healing from eating disorders; thus I have extensive experience helping people build skills and break down barriers so that they can reclaim their relationships with food. In my private practice, I have worked with clients who are healing from eating disorders, and those building new relationships with food having struggled with disordered eating, chronic dieting, and eating issues in general.

I believe that everyone can benefit from acupuncture even if they are apparently healthy. A preventative treatment will assess the imbalances in the person addressing such issues as stress and strengthening the immune system. I remember reading that a person gets sick first on an energetic level before manifesting any outward symptoms. An acupuncturist's task is to keep the person healthy as much as possible before getting to the symptom stage. For the interested client I offer supplements as well as Chinese herbs through an associate in the Metuchen office and Qigong, a Chinese exercise to increase energy.

My counseling is one on one and is tailored to the clients lifestyle and needs. While always encouraging healthy eating and physical activity, I am very practical in my approach to helping clients integrate these behaviors with today's hectic lifestyles. Because of the increasing diagnosis of Celiac Disease, I have begun to concentrate on that condition as well as all types of gluten sensitivity. In order to help clients during COVID19 I am offering telemedicine. Please inquire for details.

Acupuncture was helping humanity for 3000 years. It is safe, natural and effective. It has no side effects. It is a great preventative modality specifically tailored to keep your health at its best.

I truly believe you have the power to change your life. The goal is to find a balance between all dimensions of nutrition – wellness, exercise, stress management, spirituality, and emotional well-being. Food provides us with one form of nutrition but to ultimately feel fully nourished you must commit to a healthy lifestyle, a fulfilling life purpose, balanced emotions, adequate rest, and always stay focused with a positive attitude. Healing the whole person will allow one to achieve the highest quality of life.

Are you struggling with the idea of healthy eating and how to even begin to approach it? Do you often see the phrase "eat clean"? Does it make you feel confused? Are you struggling with certain health conditions? Is it affecting the relationship you have with your body? With conflicting information from multiple sources, it feels imperative now more than ever to clear up misconceptions about food, and proceed to help others from a professional standpoint who spend a lifetime attempting to find solutions through the ambiguity that marketing strategies of various media outlets instill into the public.

Cultivating a positive relationship with food and your body can be really tricky in this society, especially when we are constantly surrounded by diet culture, as well as weight stigma. Recovering from an eating disorder, disordered eating, and/or body image issues can feel like a near impossible feat when trying to navigate it on your own. A supportive, weight inclusive, non-judgmental space can be the key to finally ditching the food rules and negative self talk which keep us feeling trapped. I am passionate about helping individuals of all body sizes nurture a positive relationship with food, movement, and their bodies.
