Do I need a referral to see you?

No. Although most of my clients are referred by their Medical Provider or Therapist, I welcome anyone who is interested in working on their nutrition and lifestyle goals.

Do you take health insurance?

Not at this time. I want to focus my resources on taking care of my clients, rather than on paperwork. This choice is also reflected in my rates.

Can you provide me with a Superbill?

Of course. Ask me for more info.

Why do you work via Telehealth?

As technology improves, it is easier to feel connected even when we are meeting virtually. Meeting through video allows me to be more flexible with my schedule to match my clients’ preferences and needs.

Additionally, Telehealth has been shown to reduce no shows for appointments because you can see your Provider from the comfort of your home or office. And the more relaxed you are, the more focused you will be on your session.

Do I have to use the Client Portal?

No, you do not! It is a benefit I offer to my clients and I recommend it to get access to documents faster. If you choose not to use the portal, some documents, such as superbills, will be physically mailed to you.

Do you sell supplements?

No. If supplements are needed based on your assessment, I will give you clear guidelines and suggestions for brands for you to choose from. I do not get any income from the supplements you purchase.

How long before I see results?

To be honest, it depends on you and your goals. Working with me will provide support and accountability, but my objective is to have you feel confident and effective in as few sessions as possible.

What is difference between a Dietitian and a Nutritionist?

A Registered Dietitian or a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist is a food and nutrition expert who has earned a degree in dietetics from an accredited university, completed an extensive supervised training, passed a national exam, commits to following a strict code of ethics, and is required to continue professional development to maintain their credentials.

Dietitians use the credential of RD or RDN depending on whether they prefer to be called Registered Dietitians or Registered Dietitians Nutritionists (these titles are equivalent). A credential is a professional qualification similar to MD for physicians or RN for nurses. It lets people know that the practitioner is a trained expert. Legally only practitioners who have completed specific educational requirements, passed a national exam, abide by a professional code of ethics and fulfill continuing education requirements can use these titles and credentials.

On the other hand, there is no specific or legally standardized meaning for “nutritionist.” While there are some very reputable nutritionist programs, anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, even with no training at all. Whether you choose to work with a Registered Dietitian or a Nutritionist, make sure to check their credential. Click HERE for more information on this.
