"I've been in private practice since 1996, specializing in eating disorders, obesity, performance/sports nutrition (@ The Juilliard School), vegetarian/vegan nutrition, and physical fitness. Nutrition therapy with me begins with answering to your reported needs with a fusion of nutrition education, behavioral & body image work, and mindful eating, which is helpful for those who overeat or respond to food in unhealthy ways. My treatment style includes the Eastern philosophies of Yoga."
