About Debra
After 25 years as a Registered Dietitian, I still get energized when a small, sustainable change helps someone feel better in their daily life. I earned a Bachelor of Science from Edinboro University and practice in Edinboro, Pennsylvania as an RD and LDN. Outside of appointments you might find me on a bike, hiking local trails, in a spinning class, or working on a new craft project. I'm passionate about welcoming new patients and together we'll build a nutrition plan tailored to your routine and goals.
Approach to care
Science and kindness guide how I work with patients. I rely on evidence-based strategies while keeping everything compassionate and practical. We focus on long-term habits, not quick fixes or diet culture, using a weight-neutral, behavior-focused lens to support your health. I aim to be direct and action-oriented, so we'll leave each visit with clear, doable steps. Along the way I'll explain the research in plain terms, so you feel empowered to make choices that fit your whole life.
Your first session with Debra
We'll start by reviewing your medical history and any available lab work or biometrics, then take time for a thoughtful conversation about your relationship with food. We'll establish short-term goals together and create an initial meal plan with a couple of immediate, realistic actions to try. This is a judgment-free, low-pressure visit, so you don't need to have everything figured out. We'll move at a pace that fits your life and adjust the plan as we learn what works for you.
