About Michele
I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (CDCES) with over 20 years of experience in clinical nutrition. I hold a PhD in Nutritional Sciences from Drexel University in Philadelphia. As an RDN, I have worked in diverse settings, including hospitals, private practice, and community health clinics. My passion for personalized nutrition and evidence-based care has helped countless individuals achieve their health goals through sustainable dietary changes. My academic career includes serving as an Associate Professor of Nutrition at the California State University Los Angeles.
Approach to care
As a Registered Dietitian, my approach to nutrition care is client-centered and evidence-based, focusing on individualized strategies that align with each person’s unique needs, preferences, and goals. I prioritize the importance of balanced, nutrient-rich meals that fit seamlessly into daily life. By combining the latest scientific research with compassionate support, I empower clients to make informed choices, address underlying health concerns, and achieve long-term wellness. Collaboration and education are at the heart of my practice, ensuring that every client feels heard, respected, and equipped to take control of their health journey.
Your first session with Michele
All sessions are a safe, non-judgmental space where your input and questions are valued. The goal is to create a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle and helps you take positive steps toward better health. I will ask about your medical history, lifestyle, eating habits, and any specific health concerns or goals you have. Together, we will set realistic and achievable goals that align with your priorities. I may provide tailored, practical tips or strategies you can start implementing right away. We will discuss a plan for follow-up sessions, ongoing support, and any tools that can help you stay on track.
