About Michelle
Hi! My name is Michelle. I’m originally from Southern California and have been living in NYC for the past 4 years. I love animals, connecting with people, and all things food. I’ve been a dietitian for 3 years, working at NewYork-Presbyterian MSCH. I specialize in general pediatrics, failure to thrive, cardiology, enteral nutrition support, weight management, bariatric surgery, and obstetrics. I hope to be a source of support and guidance to help you reach your goals!
Approach to care
My care philosophy is built on evidence-based science and warm, collaborative partnership. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all plan, and I meet you where you are with curiosity and a nonjudgmental stance. We'll explore your relationship with food, and lifestyle, translating science into clear, actionable steps that fit your life. I emphasize sustainable habits and a holistic view that honors mental, emotional, and physical health. My weight-neutral, HAES-inspired approach centers education so you can make informed decisions long after our sessions, together.
Your first session with Michelle
Our first appointment is all about you. We'll discuss your medical history, daily routines, goals, and your relationship with food in a judgment-free space. You don't need to have everything figured out yet; we'll take it step by step. We'll establish short-term goals and review any lab work or biometrics you bring. Together, we’ll map out a simple plan and the next steps so you feel supported and clear about where we’re headed.
