I offer personalized nutrition counseling and wellness coaching services as an experienced registered dietitian, guiding individuals towards their health and wellness goals through tailored assessments, customized meal planning, specialized dietary assistance, and empowering behavioral coaching. My services go beyond generic advice, providing the knowledge and tools needed for clients to make informed choices, foster a positive relationship with food, and achieve lasting lifestyle changes.

How much do sessions cost?

I offer a variety of different packages and payment plans. Investing in your health may be scary at first, but can help save you money from medications and doctor's appointments in the long run. I accept Horizon BCBS, Cigna, and Aetna as well. Depending on your insurance coverage, you might not have to pay at all for each session, or will have a small copay!

What does nutrition counseling involve?

Nutrition counseling involves a comprehensive assessment of your current dietary habits, health goals, and lifestyle. As a dietitian, I work with you to create personalized nutrition plans, offer guidance on healthy eating and lifestyle habits, and provide ongoing support to help you achieve your nutritional objectives. My approach also includes overall wellness, which focuses on balancing multiple aspects of your life for a better quality of life. 

How can nutrition counseling benefit me?

Nutrition counseling can benefit you by promoting overall health, improving your relationship with food and your body, addressing specific health conditions, improving energy levels, establishing sustainable and balanced eating habits, and improving your quality of life. It provides individualized guidance tailored to your unique needs. If you are questioning whether you need it, ask yourself if you truly feel happy with your relationship with food/your body. Sometimes it feels like it should be common knowledge.. how to "eat healthy" and "be healthy," but the average person isn't an expert on this. There is a reason why so many people enter the field of dietetics, and no one should feel judged or ashamed for wanting to learn on how to optimize their health and take care of their mind and body better. 

How do I know if I need nutrition counseling?

Everyone can benefit from nutrition counseling. There is an oversaturation of information online, and it can be really confusing to know what is "good" and "bad" for you. Dietitians have the science based background to help you learn how to naviagate a sustainable diet. If you have specific health goals, dietary concerns, medical conditions, are recovering from an eating disorder, or want to eat better as a preventative measure, a dietitian can provide expertise and support. Even one session could benefit, as dietitians have studied in depth the scientific mechanisms in which food affects your body and brain. Many of my clients learn a lot within their first session and are grateful they took the chance to meet with me. 

How often should I attend counseling sessions?

The frequency of sessions depends on individual needs and goals. Initially, more frequent sessions may be recommended, with the goal of gradually transitioning to less frequent follow-ups as you become more confident in implementing dietary changes.

Can I still enjoy my favorite foods?

Absolutely! I focus on balance within the diet and never restriction. We will work together to find ways to include your favorite foods while ensuring that your overall diet meets your nutritional needs.

What is the difference between a nutritionist and a dietitian?

Dietitians have formal education in dietetics, including a degree, practical training, are licensed or registered, and have continuing education requirements. They focus on medical nutrition therapy and evidence based practice. The title 'nutritionist' is not regulated uniformly, and individuals using this title may have varying levels of education. Nutritionists often work in non-clinical settings and may not be subject to specific licensing requirements.
