About Cindy

Hi, I'm Cindy. With 25 years as a Registered Dietitian, I believe nutrition is personal, practical, and powerful. I earned my MS in Clinical Nutrition from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, and I carry CNSC, CDN, and RD credentials that reflect a commitment to solid science and compassionate care. My clinical and hospital work, outpatient bariatric counseling, and cardiac heart health classes have allowed me to utilize and expand my approach in providing nutrition counseling. When I’m not working, I love walking, gardening, cooking, and reading. I’m grateful to walk this health journey with you.

Approach to care

I practice care that is evidence-based and educational, grounded in current science while being deeply empathetic. We’ll work together to set clear, achievable steps and keep accountability gentle and practical. I embrace a health-at-every-size, weight-neutral perspective that centers nourishment, body signals, and your lived experience rather than rules. My approach is holistic, considering sleep, stress, mood, and daily routines, so you can make informed choices that fit your life and support lasting change.

Your first session with Cindy

Think of our first visit as a welcoming conversation, not a test. Our session will start by reviewing your medical history, lab work, and biometrics, then we’ll establish short-term goals you feel confident pursuing. You don’t need to have it all figured out yet; no pressure here. We’ll discuss what has mattered to you, what’s worked before, and what you hope to achieve. You’ll leave with a clear sense of next steps and a plan that respects your pace and everyday life.
