Thirty years, one belief: food should work for your life.

I’ve spent more than thirty years as a registered dietitian, and I’ve practiced almost everywhere you can imagine — with the Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic, in rural clinics across New York, and in private practice. Today I help people improve their health through practical, sustainable nutrition — working together on weight management, heart health, diabetes and prediabetes, digestive health, and lifelong healthy habits.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Community Nutrition from Penn State University and my master’s in Nutrition Education from Boston University — but it was the Peace Corps that taught me the lesson I still carry: every person’s health journey is unique, and meaningful change begins with understanding your individual needs and goals. There’s no single “right” way to eat. There’s only what works for you — your body, your health, your culture, your budget, your life.

When I’m not with clients, you’ll usually find me out on the water sea kayaking or in my kitchen cooking something vegetarian. What I love is what healthy food does for your body — the nutrients that bring energy, strength, and lasting health. That’s what I want for you, without the guilt, the rules, or the shame that diet culture piles on.

I believe nutrition is a partnership. You bring your goals and your real life; I bring three decades of clinical experience and a genuine belief in you. Together we’ll create a personalized plan that fits your life, builds on your strengths, and supports lasting results. If you’re looking for a dietitian who leads with compassion and looks at the whole of you, that’s the work I do.
