About

My Story

In 2013, I earned my RDN credential, and set out on my journey as a clinical dietitian at one of New Jersey’s largest hospitals. Specializing in cancer treatment support and post-open heart surgery cardiovascular disease management, my early career experiences centered around assisting patients facing critical health challenges. I quickly realized that my passion lies not only in aiding those already affected by chronic diseases but also in empowering individuals to prevent the onset of these debilitating conditions.

My Mission

I know how challenging it can be to navigate the over abundance of nutrition misinformation we are faced with. My nutrition counseling approach combines evidence-based practice with motivational interviewing to provide adaptable nutrition solutions to help you feel confident with a nutrition plan that best suits your lifestyle. My mission as a dietitian is to encourage individuals to regularly follow up with a RDN in the same proactive manner as they do with their primary care physician, ensuring comprehensive dietary guidance and support each year. Let’s take a deeper-dive beyond the number on the scale and redirect our focus towards nourishing the body from within. Your vibrant, 90-year-old self will appreciate this investment in your well-being!

What Clients are Saying

Prior to working with Elisa, I tried a few home remedies [for recurrent acid reflux symptoms] as well as over the counter medications, but the problems kept coming back. Elisa did a thorough interview, and after our first meeting, provided a detailed plan of action that very specific, and included food recommendations and how to incorporate these during the day, as well as access to a great menu planning site to provide variety. After only a few weeks, I could tell the plan was working. Most importantly, I developed a deeper understanding as to the importance of certain nutrients, thanks to Elisa’s coaching.

I started working with Elisa following my PCOS diagnosis. She helped me make changes to my current diet to improve my blood sugar control and offer resources and knowledge to help me achieve a gluten and dairy free diet. My symptoms have improved immensely since starting to work with her. She helped me make changes that fit with my busy schedule and always suggested alternatives if I noted something wasn’t working that great for me. I am so grateful to Elisa for all she helped me achieve and sustain the changes we made together!

I started going to Elisa when I was told that my cholesterol levels needed to be brought down. As I am a healthy 22 year old my doctor was hesitant to start me on statins so young, and thought that a change in my diet might be able to succeed. Working with Elisa brought my cholesterol levels down to normal and gave me a better relationship with food. As a vegetarian I was struggling to get full proteins and nutrients but now have a better understanding of how to do so. I now incorporate different foods into my diet and am doing so in a way that makes me feel healthy but also satisfied.

Elisa is the most caring and knowledgeable RD/nutritionist I have ever worked with. She knows EVERYTHING about food, digestion, diet, inflammation, allergies, health issues, bloodwork, emotions, exercise and how they all relate to food and feeling good. She takes insurance and she is such a compassionate medical professional. She really CARES and sees the whole person. I highly recommend her!

What a fantastic experience! Over the years I have had weight issues surrounded by poor eating habits. Elisa takes a fresh approach to changing the way I think about food. I am grateful that I have found her, as I continue to embrace the changes, she has assisted me with. Highly recommend!!

Meeting and working with Elisa has been life changing. I first met with her to obtain some guidance on better and healthier eating. What a great decision! My weight is down, my eating is more balanced, and the results have been noticed not only by me, but others as well. My blood levels have gone in the right direction. Elisa listens to what your goals are and works around a program to get you to where you need to be. I would recommend Elisa to anyone that wants to make a change in their life. She has the knowledge and the commitment to get you there

Initially my doctor wanted me to work with a nutritionist to lower my cholesterol, and that initial goal has turned into building healthier habits and a working journey towards overall wellness through healthy eating. No one has been more supportive of this than Elisa! She is fun, friendly, and SUPER adaptable to any situation you can think of. It's been a pleasure to work with her on my goals for nutrition in general, but knowing her approach is so holistic- eating doesn't exist in a vacuum!- has made the journey so much easier. I truly and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to change the way they approach food and nutrition in general.
