Health Professionals in Rhode Island

I am a Non Diet/HAES Dietitian and a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. My passion is to help people who struggle with chronic dieting and eating disorders. I help my clients develop a healthy REAL INTUITIVE relationship with food, by stopping the "food worrying" and labeling food as "good or bad" and becoming their own experts when it comes to listening to their bodies. My approach is very unique and individualized. I work with children, adolescents, college students, adults and all genders.

My primary focus is to understand and analyze your lifestyle in order to create a nutrition plan that provides you a lifetime of healthy habits that are attainable and sustainable. I can assist individuals trying to manage their diabetes, reach and/or maintain a healthy weight, and face disordered eating behaviors. Through personal and professional experience, I understand the difficulties needed to confront and alleviate obstacles that may be standing in your way. My goal is to help create a nutrition plan based on your nutrition status, medical condition, and personal goals.

I focus on women's health and gastrointestinal problems (like IBS).

Everyone has a unique food story, some are filled with joy or comfort and others with regret, shame and frustration. No matter what your relationship with food has been, I can work with you to make changes. If you have suffered with an eating disorder or engage in behaviors that you do not feel are "normal," let's talk and figure out how to make realistic changes that work for you. Even if you have been suffering with this for years, I can help. Do you have a diabetes diagnosis and need help with figuring out what or how to eat, do you have bloating, diarrhea and constipation and are frustrated because you don't know why?

Do you have Constipation, Bloating, Gas, Reflux or other Gut Health Issues? Weight loss resistance can be another problem, when you have GI issues. This may prevent you from being the social person that you use to be, or decrease your ability to function optimally at work, etc. Imagine if we could resolve these issues so that you have more energy, feel social again and enjoy your family. Gut Issues may be costing you in more ways than one. Test Do Not Guess. We can do a myriad of testing to determine the exactly what foods you should or should not be consuming based on: Microbiome, food sensitvity, food additve testing.

I am a Registered Dietitian and a Certified Diabetes Outpatient Educator who works with both adults and the pediatric population. I earned my bachelors of science from the University of Rhode Island, and completed by Dietetic Internship at New York University, Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein Hospital in New York City. My specialties include Diabetes, Digestive Disorders, Vegansim, and Weight Management, with a certificate of training in weight managment. My education and work experience, coupled with my passion for nutrition, has allowed me to successfully assist others in obtaining and sustaining healthy eating behaviors and balanced lifestyles.

With experience working in clinical dietetics, nutrition education, and eating disorder treatment, I've seen just how important a good nutritional foundation is for our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. I see clients via Telehealth in my virtual practice to help with various concerns such as eating disorders and disordered eating, stress management, pregnancy and postpartum nutrition, family nutrition (from introducing solids to picky eaters to growth and development), intuitive eating, health concerns (stress, cardiac issues, blood sugar management, etc.), or just a desire to improve overall health and well-being.

With my previous position as adolescent dietitian for in higher levels of eating disorder care, I have a special passion for eating disorder work. I may have years of formal education under my belt, but what I will never presume to know is how you “should eat.” I love helping people find an eating pattern that suits their needs, wants, and circumstances. I practice with a Health at Every Size framework that allows you to explore your health values regardless of your body size.

My mission is to be at the forefront of patient care by creating, applying and sharing the most advanced Chinese medical knowledge in health care

What I love about Five Element style acupuncture is that it helps to get at the root of long standing problems. Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, eating disorders, relationship issues, deep seated fear, anger issues, prolonged grief, feelings of isolation and sadness, all these things can be worked with with Five Element acupuncture. Though you may not think of acupuncture for emotional or mental issues, in Chinese Medicine they are not separate. Usually it is the emotional component that is the key to unlocking the physical manifestation of illness. This is deep and lasting healing.

Welcome! I am a Registered Dietitian in Providence, Rhode Island. I enjoy helping my clients make realistic changes that they can incorporate into their lifestyle. I chose to pursue a career in nutrition to be a reliable source for those seeking guidance on their nutritional health.

I specialize in fertility / infertility acupuncture, pain management acupuncture and stress disorders, but my practice is multi-fold and I work with far more than just that. I work with my patients from a holistic perspective, in which we look at diet, lifestyle and all else that can influence health. While I use acupuncture (and other Chinese healing modalities when necessary), I like to see that the patient is able to find freedom from symptoms and retain positive health on their own through their newly found knowledge about their health.

Are you having bladder issues? Hot flashes, mood swings? Back pain? Anxiety? Do you need support, a listening ear and a natural solution? If your goal is to get your health under control without surgery, invasive procedures or medication, then you have found your alternative medicine home. If the consequences of surgery and medications make you frightened, then you need a safe and nurturing alternative.

Are you looking for ways to achieve health in a more holistic way? Maybe you are looking to add complementary & alternative therapies into your current health practice. If so consider yourself both seen & heard. I treat an array of conditions ranging from chronic to acute illnesses. Whether you are struggling with an autoimmune disease, digestive complaints or simply seeking general nutrition & lifestyle guidelines, there is something for you here. I believe in the body's innate ability to heal itself when it is provided with proper individualized support. Functional lab testing and diagnostic methods are one way to achieve this.

Are you struggling with the diet cycle? Trying one after another but never able to keep the weight off? I'm going to let you in on a secret - diets don't work. You may experience success in the beginning followed by guilt if you "fall off" the plan, intense cravings and feeling unable to keep up with the strict rules of your diet, and so the cycle continues. If you relate to this maybe it's time to live a life free of diets. No more rules around food and movement. No more focusing solely on the scale. Let's heal your relationship with food and body. It's time to nourish yourself and find the joy in food again.
