About Lisa

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I have been providing individualized, nutrition counseling to clients of all ages, for over 30 years. I split my time between my private practice and working with Yale's varsity athletes to optimize nutrition for peak performance. I specialize in disordered eating and sports and/or performance nutrition, but I also offer counseling and nutrition education, in the areas of weight loss and management, specialized diets (i.e. elevated cholesterol, cardiovascular concerns, Diabetes, etc.), pre/post-natal diets, and general wellness.

Approach to care

I provide individualized nutrition support, customized to meet you where you currently are, and coach you to reach your goals. It is my personal mission to provide you with a sustainable program that will keep you enjoying your food and lifestyle, while encouraging your health goals and promoting your best performance. I will provide the tools and strategies you need to help you learn to recognize, trust, and respond appropriately to your own body cues to reach your health goals, and maintain them throughout life.

Your first session with Lisa

In our first session, I will spend time getting to know you, your health and medical history, lifestyle, food habits and preferences, and your nutrition goals. It is typical that I will provide some education and get you started with a meal plan or nutrition plan as appropriate to get you started.
