Do you only work with children?
I specialize in infants, children, and adolescents, but because nutrition often affects the entire family, I regularly work with parents as well. A big part of my role is helping families create a positive, balanced food environment at home.
How do sessions work?
Individualized Nutrition Therapy
- Initial Consultation: During an initial consultation, we take time to understand your child’s full nutrition picture. We review medical history, growth, eating patterns, daily routines, and any concerns you’d like to address. Together, we outline goals and create a personalized plan that feels realistic for your family. This session sets the foundation for ongoing support and ensures we’re working toward progress that feels meaningful and manageable.
- Follow-Up Sessions: Follow-up sessions are a space for continued guidance, problem-solving, and encouragement. It gives us time to check in, celebrate progress, and work through any challenges that have come up. We adjust the plan as your child’s needs evolve, making sure everything still feels realistic and supportive for your family.
Family Nutrition Support
- Initial Consultation: The initial family nutrition session is focused on understanding the needs, routines, and goals of everyone at the table. We look at each family member’s nutrition considerations, daily schedules, mealtime patterns, and any stress points or challenges you’re facing. Together, we create a plan that feels realistic for your home—one that brings more structure, confidence, and ease to feeding your family. This session lays the groundwork for positive, sustainable changes that support the whole household.
- Follow-Up Sessions: Follow-up sessions are a chance to check in on how things are going and adjust the plan as your family’s needs evolve. We talk through what’s working, where things still feel challenging, and any new changes in routines or preferences. These appointments provide ongoing support, troubleshooting, and encouragement as you build more predictable, peaceful mealtimes. The goal is steady progress—not perfection—as we help your family find a rhythm that feels doable and supportive for everyone.
Do you offer virtual appointments?
Yes! I provide both in-person and virtual sessions.

Do you take insurance?
I am currently an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance directly. However, many families receive partial reimbursement from their insurance provider using a “superbill” (a detailed receipt I provide after each session). I encourage you to check with your insurance company to confirm coverage.
What is a discovery call?
A discovery call is a free 15-minute phone call where we can see if my services are the right fit for your child and/or family.

What is the difference between a registered dietitian and a nutritionist?
A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) holds a legally regulated credential that requires advanced education (a master’s degree as of 2024), completion of a period of supervised practice, and passing a national board exam. In contrast, the term “nutritionist” is not consistently regulated and can range from highly trained professionals to individuals with little formal education; in some states, only RDNs are licensed to practice.
RDNs are qualified to deliver evidence-based medical nutrition therapy for specific health conditions, including in clinical environments such as hospitals, while nutritionists generally provide broader nutrition guidance and are typically not permitted to offer clinical treatment.
