Many of my clients come to me for help with digestive health concerns, With my experience in nutrition education, I take the time to answer questions and explain the rationale behind my recommendations so you understand where they are stemming from. Although I provide a plan, my client is in the driver's seat. I provide my client's with various options that will lead them to optimal health.

Eat well, feel well. As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I help people with digestive issues figure out what foods make them feel their healthiest, strongest, and most energized so they can live life to its fullest. I work closely with my patients to identify and overcome barriers to healthy eating, and I personalize each visit to meet the individual needs and preferences of my clients. I love food and so I focus a lot on what to eat and how to make foods taste good.

For about 18 years, many patients have come to me with issues around weight management, skin issues, constipation and/or diarrhea, bloated & gas problems, digestion issues, low energy/fatigue, food sensitivities, blood sugar irregularity & high cholesterol levels. Usually the culprit of these issues include disordered eating habits, choosing foods that aren’t fueling you, inactivity, poor hydration & stress. Sounds like this might be your vicious cycle?

Diet and nutrition are incredibly impactful on our mental and physical well-being. Sorting through all the current diet trends swirling around in the public domain can be overwhelming and confusing. Making lasting lifestyle changes that evolve over time and are personalized to your habits are usually the most effective for the long term.

With nearly 20 years experience, I believe that being a great dietitian means more than just telling people what to eat, it is about becoming their guide to better nutrition and overall wellness. I believe nutrition should be tailored to the individual and fit into their life. Serving the NJ/NY Metro area, as well as all the US over telehealth and video, I work primarily with women suffering from PCOS and struggling with MENOPAUSE. I also have extensive experience with disordered eating, pre and postnatal nutrition, endometriosis, fertility issues, hormone balancing, and migraines.
