About Jennifer

I have over 25 years of experience in the field of nutrition and I specialize in heart healthy eating and diabetes. I am passionate about easy and healthful meal planning to help people get or stay on track! I am a Licensed Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist & Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. Most of my clinical training came from my internship, fellowship & career at NewYork Presbyterian Hospital in NYC.

Approach to care

I'm hoping to give you the knowledge you need to navigate the supermarket aisles with ease! We will work together to come up with REALISTIC and sustainable goals to optimize your healthful lifestyle. I am very empathetic regarding the struggles that can surround food and I will never judge or criticize any menu choices that you make.

Your first session with Jennifer

The first session is the time for us to get to know each other and for me to learn all about you! We will have a casual conversation and review what you are hoping for and how I can help you along the way. We will review what you have tried in the past and why that may not have worked for you. At the end of the first session, we will have some realistic goals set to keep you moving forward.
