About Me

Amargo's nutrition journey began because she wanted to learn and understand the impact that mental health has on eating behaviors. While studying, she was also going through her own journey of healing, self-discovery, and self-acceptance which made her realize that many other individuals face the same struggles with health and wellness as she did. She made it her mission to provide an inclusive space for clients to feel supported throughout their health and wellness journey.

She specializes in gender affirming support, disordered eating, neurodivergence/ ADHD, mental health functionality, vegan & plant based nutrition, substance use disorders, HIV diagnosis and PrEP treatment, gastrointestinal disorders, and disease prevention/wellness.

She is passionate about understanding health disparities amongst the LGBTQ+ community and providing an open and empathetic environment for patients to feel comfortable to be themselves.

Amargo believes that all people deserve nutritional care and practices with trauma informed care, is patient centered, and takes an integrative approach.

Amargo graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from Montclair State University and completed a Dietetic Internship from New York Presbyterian Hospital.

In her free time, Amargo enjoys singing, going to concerts, photography, lifting weights, painting, playing basketball, getting tattoos, and exploring new vegan restaurants.
