About Marissa
I am a board certified, Registered Dietitian with over 8 years of experience working in various clinical setting, corporate wellness, sports nutrition, nutrition for older adults and disordered eating recovery. Growing up in an Italian-American household, I spent a lot of my time in the kitchen with my grandmother where my love for food and everything centered around it began. When I'm not working, you can find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, spending time with my dog, diving into a new show or exploring all that NYC has to offer.
Approach to care
I believe that health is not one size fits all, rather, requires an individualized, whole body approach to create a lasting impact. Grounded in current research and my clinical experience as an RD and CDN, I'll help you turn evidence into clear, practical steps that fit your life. I work from a HAES (Health at Every Size), weight-neutral perspective that centers behaviors and whole-person wellness. My commitment to you is to provide you with an open & inclusive environment to explore tools needed to create a balanced relationship with food, body & overall wellness.
Your first session with Marissa
You'll find an open, welcoming space where we'll talk about your goals, challenges and intentions without pressure. We'll review relevant history, everyday routines and what's most important to you, then choose one or two practical, evidence-based steps to start. We'll leave the visit with clear, doable actions and a plan for how we'll move forward together.
