About Alexandra

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a diverse career experience. The first few years of my career focused on sport/performance nutrition in college athletics. This included helping athletes with weight loss, muscle building, developing a healthier relationship with food and enhancing sports performance. In the past five years, I have broadened my expertise as an inpatient clinical dietitian and private practice RD. My counseling skills have specialized, but not been limited to, a variety of areas and health concerns including: healthy weight loss, disordered eating and intuitive eating, GI disorders, nutrition for physical performance, overall balanced nutrition, chronic disease/illness management, acute illness, nutrition throughout aging and group nutrition education.

Approach to care

I believe that nutrition is the cornerstone for optimal physical and mental health; it’s vital to nourish your body from the inside-out! I strive to utilize an individualized and realistic approach to health while keeping a positive, fun and balanced mindset with food and exercise. I prioritize making personal connections with each client to provide the most valuable and thoughtful recommendations, and sharing my passion for nutrition through conversations and education. From medical nutrition interventions, nutrition counseling, meal plans, recipes or grocery shopping tips, I am here to guide you through a supportive and pragmatic approach on your health and wellness journey.

Your first session with Alexandra

During the first session I like to focus on getting to know you, your lifestyle and goals, pertinent medical history and how I can best help you! We will discuss nutrition and medical history, any questions or concerns you may have, as well as your goals and what brings you to me. This helps me provide the best approach and individualized care for our sessions to help you reach your health/wellness goals.
