About Marybeth

Hello! My name is Marybeth, and I have been a professional dietitian for over 30 years. I have experience in several areas of dietetics including renal, heart disease, diabetes, weight management, mental health, substance use disorder, long-term care, and informatics. I have seen many "diets" come and go over the years. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you create sustainable lifestyle interventions to help you achieve your personal nutrition health goals.

Approach to care

My approach to nutrition care is to become familiar with your personal health situation and current lifestyle. This will help me offer guidance to help you to make incremental, sustainable changes to your lifestyle to achieve your nutrition goals. I believe self-worth is more than a number on a scale and I am committed to helping you prioritize your overall wellbeing.

Your first session with Marybeth

Your first appointment with me is about getting to know you. The appointment will last about 60 minutes to allow me to become familiar with you and your current lifestyle. During this visit I will ask questions about your medical history, weight history, current medications, food preferences, allergies, and dietary habits. This comprehensive assessment helps me to become familiar with your "typical" day. This helps me to help you create realistic goals that work for you. My goal is to help you feel empowered in your choices, with room to modify these choices along the way. I look forward to connecting with you!
