About Dolly

Hi, I'm Dolly. I'm a Registered Dietitian with 29 years of experience. I earned my MS in Nutritional Science from the University of Washington and my BS in Nutritional Science from Cornell University, and I’m credentialed as a CDN. I’ve worked in clinical and hospital settings, private practice, school programs, doctors’ offices, and the FDNY special counseling unit, which gave me a broad view of how nutrition shows up in real life. I grew up on a vegetable farm, and that experience keeps me focused on sustainable, practical food choices. I’m also caring for my adopted 3-year-old boy, which reminds me daily that small, loving habits add up. I’m here to walk with you toward healthier, achievable changes.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is collaborative, evidence-based, and holistic. I believe good nutrition happens when we blend science with your life, values, and goals. Together, we'll identify practical steps that fit your schedule and preferences, with empathy and warmth every step of the way. I practice through a weight-neutral, Health At Every Size lens, focusing on behaviors and wellbeing rather than restrictive diets. Education is a cornerstone of my approach, helping you understand labs, nutrition effects, and choices so you can sustain meaningful change.

Your first session with Dolly

Our first appointment is a chance to get to know you and your health story. We'll review your lab work and biometrics, look over your medical history, and establish short-term goals. We’ll discuss reasonable changes to diet or lifestyle that fit your life, not a perfect plan. You don’t need to have it all figured out before we meet. I’ll bring clarity and practical steps, and we’ll decide together what to tackle first so you can feel confident moving forward.
