Hi, I'm Andrea!

As an integrative nutritionist, I offer personalization of care, focusing on the uniqueness of each client. Because of that, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. We will work together to understand the underlying cause of your symptoms and develop a plan that will empower you to thrive and be your best based on your unique goals, challenges, health and family history. 

I'm passionate about helping clients achieve their health and nutrition goals, regardless of where they are starting from. Whether you want to learn how to manage a new diagnosis, prevent additional health concerns, feel better or simply understand how to be healthier, we can develop a plan to achieve your goals. 

I specialize in helping clients understand and adapt to a gluten free diet for treating conditions such as celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and other autoimmune or inflammatory conditions because I've gone through it all myself. 

I hold a Master of Science degree in Nutrition & Integrative Health from the Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH) in Laurel, MD; am a Certified Nutrition Specialist® professional, certified by the Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists; and am New York State Certified as a Dietitian/Nutritionist. I've been seeing clients since 2014 and opened my practice in 2016.

My Story

I've always been interested in nutrition, but I didn't realize it was going to be a lifelong passion until I experienced firsthand how the food I ate could impact my health so dramatically. In 2012, I was diagnosed with celiac disease. and quickly adopted a gluten free diet (not without many trials and tribulations).

I immediately began reading book after book about the autoimmune disorder and quickly realized how much I loved learning about nutrition and the impact of food on health. Realizing that my diagnosis was helping me uncover the direction of my future career, I decided to head back to school to earn my master of science in nutrition & integrative health. I relished learning about how our bodies work, and understanding the intricate balance of our genes, environment, lifestyle, mindset, and the food we eat. I was interested in a more holistic and integrative approach, as I was disappointed in my own care from the broken health care system that exists in our country.

For anyone who is new to a gluten free diet or having trouble getting started, I know what you are going through. I've been there. I know how it feels, how difficult it can be, and where gluten can be lurking. Save yourself the time, energy, and prolonged ill health of delaying proper treatment by working with an expert who can guide and empower you to thrive throughout this lifestyle transition.
