About Valerie

Across 24 years as a registered dietitian I’ve worked in clinical hospital settings, corporate wellness programs, and private practice, which taught me how health care and everyday life intersect. I earned an MS in Clinical Nutrition from New York University and practice as a licensed Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. Outside of appointments you’ll find me developing recipes, exploring new food products, entertaining friends and family, and cardio walking. I care deeply about patient-centered, sustainable change that fits your real life.

Approach to care

Science and practical proven strategies guide my recommendations, and empathy shapes how we put them into practice. I take an evidence-based, approach focusing on sustainable behaviors and overall wellbeing. I work with clients to translate nutrition research into simple, realistic steps that fit into everyday life. Together, we’ll address key areas like sleep, stress, movement, and eating patterns to support lasting change. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and nonjudgmental. I help you build skills, routines, and confidence so healthy habits feel manageable and actually stick.

Your first session with Valerie

Plan for a warm, comfortable conversation where we’ll review your medical history and take a deep look at your relationship with food. I want to understand what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how your day-to-day life really looks, so we can set short-term, achievable goals together. By the end of the visit you will have personalized food recommendations and a few clear next steps, so you leave feeling supported and ready to move forward. All sessions are custom tailored and I go at a pace that works for you.
