Background

Are you ready to make lasting changes to your health and well-being? As an internationally recognized registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) with over 25 years of experience, I am here to guide you on a journey toward sustainable, personalized wellness. My mission is to help you achieve your goals without deprivation, extreme diets, or quick fixes.

I am more than just an RDN—I have a PhD in nutrition, am an adjunct professor at NYU, and a published author. Throughout my career, I’ve conducted groundbreaking research on portion sizes and consulted with various weight management programs. This extensive background allows me to bring a unique level of expertise and a deep understanding of the science behind nutrition and behavior change.

I work with adults, children, and families, focusing on a wide range of health issues, including weight loss, medical nutrition therapy, and behavior modification. My approach is entirely individualized—because no two people are alike, and your plan should be as unique as you are. Together, we’ll design a program that meets your specific health needs, medical history, lifestyle, and preferences. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition or looking to build healthier habits, I will meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be.

My philosophy centers on the integration of mind, body, and spirit. This is not about following rigid rules or a diet for today—it’s about developing a balanced relationship with food and prioritizing self-care in the long run. I understand the emotional and psychological aspects of eating and health, and I am here to help you navigate these challenges with compassion and practical solutions.

When you work with me, you won’t feel hungry or deprived. I believe in nourishment, not restriction. Together, we’ll create a plan that fits into your life, supports your goals, and brings joy back to eating.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your health journey, let’s work together to create lasting, meaningful change. You’re in good hands with my expertise, passion, and dedication to helping you succeed.
