About Me

Do you ever feel like you know what you should be doing for your health, but you just can’t seem to make it happen? It’s frustrating, I get it. Many people struggle to bridge that gap between knowing and doing—especially with all the conflicting nutrition advice out there.

That’s where I come in. As one of only 45 dietitians in the country trained in the Dietitian Coach Approach, I work with you to make lasting, realistic changes. Over 12 weeks of weekly sessions, we’ll focus on building habits that actually feel good—no more stressing over willpower or feeling like you’re fighting yourself. I’m here as your “guide on the side,” helping you experiment, navigate the noise, and discover what works best for you.

Clients love the personalized, non-judgmental vibe of our sessions—it’s more like a partnership than a typical “diet plan.” Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you, whether that’s feeling more energized, ditching diet confusion, or finally sticking to healthy habits without the stress. The best part? It’s exciting and fun!

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start making real progress on your wellness goals, let’s work together. I’ll help you get clear on your vision and give you the tools to make it happen—no guilt, no overwhelm, just real change.

Before you go, here are a few things about me...

Before becoming a Dietitian Coach at All Access Dietitians, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Sciences and Dietetics from Cornell University and a Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition from New York University. I also had the honor of completing my dietetic internship and a Corporate Wellness fellowship at the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital system. Additionally, I have extensive experience in conducting nutrition research and clinical work in an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation setting.

Having spent years dancing, under-fueling, and living with a chronic illness, I understand the profound impact that evidence-based, compassionate care can have on one's life. My journey wasn’t always straightforward—misinformation, diet culture, and perfectionism made it challenging. However, as I trained to become a dietitian, I embraced research and evidence-based nutrition. I believe everyone has the right to accessible, evidence-based information to make informed decisions about their health.

In addition to my coaching philosophy, I believe each individual is the expert of their own body and has a unique health journey. The Dietitian Coach approach fosters teamwork and empowerment, moving away from the outdated prescriptive model. My goal is to help you create and shape your own health and wellness journey.

When I'm not helping my clients build habits they love, I enjoy Pilates, strength training, reading, and spending time with loved ones. I also love engaging in creative activities and exploring new ways to promote health and wellness in my own life.
