Background

As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist with over 25 years of experience, I provide evidence-based nutrition guidance to help working adults build healthier habits within busy schedules. I hold a Master’s degree in Nutrition and bring a strong foundation in clinical care, prevention, and long-term health support.

Whether you are managing prediabetes or diabetes, weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, PCOS, pregnancy, digestive concerns, or starting GLP-1 medication, I offer practical nutrition strategies that fit your lifestyle.

Alongside my private practice, I lead a successful Diabetes Prevention Program at a non-profit organization, where I support participants in reducing diabetes risk, improving A1C levels, and preventing long-term complications for those living with diabetes.

Outside of my professional work, I enjoy gardening and volunteer at a local community garden, where I teach others how to grow their own organic food. I also value an active and creative lifestyle, including yoga, Pilates, music, cooking, and learning new languages. I am fluent in Hindi and have professional proficiency in Spanish.

I believe healthy eating looks different for everyone. Nutrition counseling sessions are centered on listening, education, and collaboration to create actionable, sustainable steps that support your health goals.

 Feel free to reach out to discuss your health and wellness needs!

Approach

I approach nutrition counseling with the belief that healthy eating is not one- size-fits-all. I use behavior focused strategies to help you build lasting habits. My passion for cooking allows me to share practical meal ideas, from quick and simple to more creative dishes, across a variety of cuisines, whether you enjoy cooking or prefer keeping things easy.  Convenient evening and weekend virtual sessions, make nutrition care accessible and practical for your everyday life.
