How did you get into nutrition?

General healthy eating, weight loss, relationship with food and disordered eating, and intuitive eating

I grew up in an active and healthy household, and I learned how what I ate affected how I felt. I always loved science, and nutrition was able to combine my passion for science with helping others feel their best.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working?

How would you describe your counseling style?

My counseling style is empathetic, supportive, and motivational. I have an all-foods-fit approach to nutrition, using evidence-based practices to provide realistic and individualized counseling to help my patients develop a healthy and balanced relationship with food. 

When I'm not working I enjoy finding new ingredients at the local farmers market and creating new recipes, spending time with my friends and family (which usually involves eating), taking a long walk or run on the West Side Highway, exploring Manhattan and finding new restaurants or bakeries and hopefully stumbling upon some live music too.
