clinical practice:

My experience includes treatments for hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes and gastrointestinal disorders, but have worked with many other conditions. I also offer a unique program for overcoming weight loss resistance. Having 50+ food and supplement plans at my disposal, I prefer to improve a client's diet first by focusing on the removal of offending foods, and, as a next step, I add foods and/or nutrients back into the diet which will help heal the body. I also enjoy working in conjunction with a client's doctor, in an effort to create a holistic as well as safe approach to his or her healthcare.

I am board certified, independently insured, and am a member of the American College of Nutrition. I am also involved with continuing education through Designs for Health and Crayhon Research, two research-based nutrition companies. My practice in Maryland includes group, individual and child/adolescent weight loss counseling, speaking engagements around the DC area, and a monthly column in the Gaithersburg Gazette. I am also affiliated with Clayton College, an online Alternative Health college, and a member of the Alternative Healthcare Practitioner Resource group.

Corporate Consulting:

My corporate experience includes 8 years in promotional marketing for Kraft Foods. Before turning to nutrition full time, I also served as Vice President for Ryan Partnership, a top 10 promotion agency in Connecticut, where my clients included Unilever and Nabisco. Now I enjoy combining my nutrition expertise with my promotion experience to create successful promotional and sales plans.
