Registered dietitians are board-certified experts on food and nutrition. Becoming a dietitian requires the following:

• Completing an intensive series of undergraduate course work in chemistry, biochemistry, organic chemistry, biology, anatomy, physiology, nutrient metabolism, nutrition science, social sciences, and counseling skills

• Completing a 1,200 hour supervised practice dietetic internship

• Passing a national licensing exam

• Complete ongoing continuing education to maintain licensure

The term nutritionist is unregulated and does not require licensure - technically, anyone could call themselves a nutritionist.

I am currently an out-of-network provider. Your insurance company may reimburse you for part or all of the session cost. You can reach out to your insurance provider ahead of time to discuss out-of-network coverage. I can provide you with a superbill each month for submission to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Here are some key questions you can ask your insurance provider:

• Do I have out-of-network benefits for medical nutrition therapy?

• What is my deductible and has it been met?

• What percentage of my bill will be covered for these services?

It depends! Session frequency is individualized based on your needs, goals, and stage of recovery. Many clients start by meeting weekly to build momentum and support consistency, then shift to biweekly or monthly sessions as progress continues. We’ll talk openly about what feels most supportive for you and adjust as things evolve — this is a collaborative process, and your comfort and growth always guide the plan.

Yes. I work with adolescents and their families using a collaborative, evidence-based approach. For eating disorder treatment, I often incorporate principles of Family-Based Treatment (FBT) — a model that empowers parents and caregivers to take an active role in supporting their child’s recovery. Sessions may include caregiver education, meal planning guidance, and communication strategies to help create a supportive environment for healing at home. My goal is to provide both the adolescent and their caregivers with the tools and confidence needed to move toward lasting recovery together.

No — my practice is fully virtual. All sessions take place via a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform designed to protect your privacy and make accessing care as seamless as possible. Meeting virtually allows clients to connect from the comfort of their own homes, helping therapy feel more flexible, consistent, and accessible. I am licensed to see clients in the following states: Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Rhode Island, and South Carolina
