I'm your go-to Registered Dietitian Nutritionist here in New Jersey. With a PhD and a heart full of empathy, I'm here to guide you through the world of nutrition.
Whether it’s tackling picky eating, managing eating disorders, or making everyday healthy choices, my approach is compassionate and evidence-based.
At From the Start Nutrition, we'll navigate your nutrition challenges together, making healthy eating realistic and joyful for you and your loved ones.
I am in-network with Aetna and accomodate out-of-network benefits upon request. You are welcome to contact your healthcare insurance provider directly to find out if they offer any out-of-network benefits for seeing a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. Sometimes they ask for a CPT Code. The one I usually use for Medical Nutrition Therapy is 97802 or 97803. If your plan offers out-of-network benefits, then upon request after your appointment we can provide you with a bill (called a Superbill) with appropriate medical coding in hopes that your insurance may reimburse you for nutrition services.
The out-of-pocket-fee will be $130.00 for your first appointment and $65.00 for follow-up appointments. To make my nutrition services more accessible, I accept HSA and FSA payments and also offer discounted packages. You can view fees for individual appointments and packages by clicking here.
While working together, we will be using Practice Better, an easy-to-use web and mobile platform that allows you to connect with me and track your care while we work together. All of your information is secure and private, as Practice Better is HIPAA-compliant.

Every person has varying needs in nutrition counseling. At the Initial Nutrition Assessment (your first appointment), we will assess if you would benefit from follow-up appointments and determine the optimal frequency for your visits.
For Eating Disorder Recovery or Pediatric Feeding Therapy we will typically meet more frequently (weekly or bi-weekly) in the beginning stages and then taper off as you progress.
For other health issues/concerns or general nutrition counseling, our sessions may be spread out over a longer period of time. To boost motivation and sustainability, I usually recommend the Initital Nutrition Assessment (your first appointment) is followed by an appointment in two-weeks, and then an appointment in one-month. From there, some people like to continue with monthly check-ins and others will check-in every 6 months or as needed.
Regardless of your individual needs, we will work together to create a nutrition plan that works best for you and/or your family.
All registered patients easily complete all of their paperwork, intake forms, and assessments digitally using Healthie, an easy-to-use web and mobile platform that allows you to connect with me and track your care while we work together.
