About Kayla
Kayla's passion for nutrition stemmed from her own struggles with digestive conditions growing up. She graduated Montclair State University with a Bachelors of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics and went on to complete her dietetic internship with Sodexo. Her internship took place during the rise of the pandemic where she was challenged with caring for a wide variety of patients including pediatrics, eating disorder, gastrointestinal conditions, diabetes, heart disease and weight loss. She completed her clinical experience at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center in Newark, New Jersey and her outpatient rotations with three different local private practices.
Approach to care
My approach to care stems from the motivational interviewing technique which includes providing my patients with nutrition information so that they can have autonomy over their wellness. I strive to make my patients feel understood, seen and heard, along with meeting them where they are in their health journey. We will work together to make sustainable changes that flow with the changes of life.
Your first session with Kayla
In your first session, we will dive deep into your current and former health concerns along with the goals you have for your wellness. We will then customize a plan going forward on how to achieve your goals and review over short term goals to work on between our sessions.
