About Nancy

Hi, I'm Nancy. I'm a New Jersey based Registered Dietitian with 29 years of experience helping people build healthier relationships with food. I earned a Bachelor of Science and have worked in clinical hospital settings, corporations and private practice, where I’ve learned that real change happens when care is human and tailored. I’m a CDCES and an RDN, and I bring evidence into everyday life. I specialize in diabetes, weight management, and gastrointestinal concerns. When I’m not working, I love travel, reading, baking, spinning, lifting weights, and taking walks with my dog. I’m grateful to walk beside you as you pursue lasting health.

Approach to care

Care with me is grounded in evidence and empathy. I stay up to date with current science and translate it into practical plans you can live with. We’ll work together to build lasting habits, honoring your preferences and your body. I embrace Health At Every Size and a holistic view that considers sleep, stress, activity, and food as part of a whole life. My approach is direct and action oriented, offering clear steps, accountability, and your right to informed choices. Education guides our decisions, not dieting culture.

Your first session with Nancy

Our first appointment is all about you. We'll review your medical history, lab work and biometrics, and short-term goals, and we'll spend time exploring your relationship with food. You don't need to have it all figured out yet; we will create a collaborative plan and a practical meal framework you can start using. I will support you with compassionate feedback and real world strategies, and we'll set 1-2 achievable goals for our next visit. This is a judgment-free space where you can show up as you are, and we'll move forward together.
