Your Trusted Nutrition Partner in Pittsburgh
As a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist based in the Pittsburgh area, I bring extensive education and training to help individuals and groups maximize their health through nutrition. My approach combines clinical expertise with a deep understanding of cultural and culinary dynamics to make nutrition concepts practical and enjoyable. I specialize in personalized counseling, addressing mental health, plant-based diets, chronic disease management, and nutrient deficiencies. My bilingual and multicultural perspective allows me to connect empathetically with diverse clients, fostering confidence and joy in food choices. With experience in both clinical and community settings, I prioritize listening, creativity, and humor to demystify nutrition and empower clients to achieve their goals.

I collaborate with clients to navigate insurance coverage and offer flexible scheduling, including free initial consultations. My services extend to group education, where interactive sessions promote shared learning and practical application of nutrition science. I maintain a private office in Squirrel Hill with accessible parking and transportation options, ensuring a comfortable environment for all clients. My practice is built on transparency, ethical standards, and a commitment to addressing both individual and community nutrition needs. Whether through one-on-one counseling or group seminars, I strive to make nutrition accessible, meaningful, and transformative for every client.
