About Rita
Hi, I'm Rita. I'm a Registered Dietitian with 24 years of experience, grounded in a holistic, evidence-based approach to nutrition. I earned my degree from Rochester Institute of Technology and have worked in substance abuse rehab, group homes, long-term care, and a CCRC, where I learned to meet people where they are and help them build sustainable habits. Outside the clinic, I love fitness classes, dancing, live music, travel, paddle boarding, and curling up with a good book. I carry my RD and LDN credentials with pride as I support your health journey.
Approach to care
My care philosophy is built on listening, science, and teamwork. I believe health is broader than a number on the scale, and I practice a weight neutral, behavior-focused approach that honors your values and life. We'll translate current research into practical steps you can actually fit into your day. I'm dedicated to being warm and empathetic, while offering clear, actionable guidance. Educational conversations empower you to decide what matters most and keep you moving toward lasting change.
Your first session with Rita
Our first appointment is all about you. Think of it as a conversation, not an evaluation. We'll review your medical history, establish short term goals, and look at lab work or biometrics together. We'll also take a deep dive into your relationship with food to understand what helps you feel your best. You don't need to have it all figured out before we meet. I'll meet you where you are, and we'll outline a realistic plan you can start today.
