I care deeply about helping my patients achieve their nutrition goals.
Over a decade of experience working in hospitals and with private clients has made me understand the vital role that nutrition plays in our overall well-being. Often our nutritional intake is crucial to how we feel and there are few medical conditions that don't benefit from a mindful diet. I know that food is an essential part of life. Overly restrictive diets, blanket prohibitions or rapid dramatic changes rarely yield long-term results.
I offer thoughtful nutrition solutions based on the latest research and my clinical experience to cover the full spectrum of dietetic needs or goals. My experience has taught me the importance of listening to the individual patient or family I am working with to tailor my recommendations appropriately.
I enjoying counseling diverse patient populations to help children and adults better understand their nutritional needs and develop strategies to achieve their goals. I have a special passion for working with children and their parents to address immediate nutritional needs and provide them with the skills necessary to have a healthy and appreciative relationship with food as they grow. For my adult clients, I understand how important it is to provide care with flexibility and a real appreciation for the challenges of day-to-day life.

Areas of Practice
Pediatrics
Nutrition is the foundation of childhood health. I have worked with a variety of patient populations in my years at Children's National Medical Center and Beth Israel Medical Center. This clinical experience has taught me the importance of combining scientific nutrition with the practical realities of parenting. I know that making dietary changes involves the whole family and I develop realistic approaches that work for everyone.
I have experience working with inadequate weight gain, food allergies, picky eating, weight loss and nutritional challenges posed by chronic illness.
PEdiatric and adult Diabetes
I am a certified diabetes educator who has worked with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes and cystic fibrosis related diabetes. I have helped patients and their families to optimize blood glucose management and educate them on how their nutrition plays a role in maximizing their quality of life.
Weight MANAGEMENT
Motivation is the key to a successful start, but habits lead to long-term weight management. My patients and I work together to make manageable and sustainable life style changes to meet their weight goals.
Gastro-Intestinal
Treatment for gastrointestinal issues starts with understanding the science behind how what we eat can effect our bodies. I have have assisted patients with Celiac disease, chronic constipation, malabsorbtion, Crohn's and IBS to modify their diets and feel in control of their health.
Sports Nutrition
Good nutrition off-the-field is an important part of success on it. I coach athletes of all ages and skill levels to understand how nutrition informs their sports goals and develop strategies to help maximize their performance.
DisORDERed Eating
Disordered eating patterns require empathetic treatment to guide the patient towards mindful and intuitive nutrition. I have successfully helped patients of all ages better understand their relationship with food and overall health.
