About Paula

Hi! My name is Paula, I am from New Jersey but currently residing in NYS. I love being an RDN because my passion is to help people feel better through medical nutrition therapy. I enjoy counseling because we can work on goals together while building a relationship based on trust and commitment in order to help you reach your best potential. I enjoy staying up to date with any topics in nutrition, recipes, and psychology to try to make life fun and easy. I am looking forward to work with anyone who needs my help!

Approach to care

My approach to care is to be open and honest about the changes the patient needs/wants to make in order to create an individualized plan of care that will work. Each person is different and working on small goals each session will help accomplish realistic long-term changes through consistency, discipline, and patience.

Your first session with Paula

What you should expect in our first session is to simply get to know each other by having open communication in a safe space about who we are, what our daily routine looks like, strengths and weaknesses, social support, budgets, work/life balance, stress levels, etc. My goal is to help you prepare/commit to make life changes within your lifestyle to make you feel good/happy long term about nutrition!
