Registered Dietitian - Behavioral Health Focus, Life Coach, Dialectical Behavior Therapy Practitioner I am not sure, really. This is what we create together.
I am a registered dietitian, behavioral health specialist, life coach and dialectical behavior therapy practitioner seeing clients in-person in NYC and nationwide, via video appointment. I began my professional life at the age of 18, pursuing a career in what I committed my youth to – classical ballet. I danced through most of my 2os, becoming certified to teach Pilates Apparatus in 2007, to suppo
rt my transition out of the dance world. Both ballet and Pilates taught me a keen understanding of anatomy and physiology and movement. I awakened a reverence for my own body and it’s capabilities and, with this ability to teach such powerful and health-promoting exercise, I had tools and language to guide people of all ages and abilities to heal and learn their physical bodies. I graduated from NYU with a Masters of Science in Clinical Nutrition in 2013. I think I went to school to become a dietitian because it just seemed right. I didn’t appreciate the methods of in-patient medical nutrition therapy as it lacked the person-centered approach I believe nourishment requires. During my studies, I saw a need for supporting people learning why it is important to take care of themselves and relating to themselves with confidence and compassion, over the need to educate how. The Harvest Method and Project: Love, Me were born. have always been a passionate, dedicated and disciplined person. I put everything into learning what I saw was the next step to being what I needed to be to provide what I provide. I got trained in functional nutrition, dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness and mind-body practices and incorporate them into behavioral health coaching for my clients. My method ensures clients are not only given information and education, but, are primed and coached to implement the changes that are needed. I encourage incremental shifts utilizing 4 pillars of focus: self-knowledge, self-care, self-trust & self-respect to create balanced, feasible plans that are tailored to suit each client, individually. My clients tend to be C-Suite executive and/or have entrepreneurial/performance-based career. They come with the understanding that health, longevity and high level, long-term performance require balance. I also offer e-books and intensive courses for self-study.

Self-care isn’t making everything about you.
It’s about taking responsibility for how you care for yourself—so you can stay grounded, regulated, and actually show up well in your life 💐
That shows up in small, daily ways.
Including how you nourish your body 🍎
Not perfectly.
But consistently.
When your body is supported, you have more capacity—
for your work, your relationships, and yourself.
⸻
If this resonates, what’s one way you support yourself consistently?

Gut health isn’t about one “perfect” food.
It’s about understanding how your body responds—and building patterns that support it over time.
Prebiotics and probiotics both play a role, but how you incorporate them depends on your individual needs.
Working with a dietitian at The Harvest Method helps you make sense of what actually works for you.

Many people don’t need more information.
They need support implementing what actually works for their body.
Working with a dietitian at The Harvest Method isn’t about following a perfect plan.
It’s about understanding your patterns, building consistency, and creating a more stable relationship with food.
If any of these feel familiar, it may be worth exploring support.

Working with a dietitian isn’t just about “what to eat.” It’s about understanding why things feel hard—and building skills that actually last 😌

Eating patterns don’t start later in life. They begin early—through everyday experiences around food 👶🏻 🍲
How meals are structured, how hunger is responded to, and how food is talked about all shape how a child learns to eat 🧠
This isn’t about doing it perfectly.
It’s about understanding what’s being built over time.
Working with a dietitian can help you create a more supportive, consistent foundation—for both you and your child 🤍

If being “strict” with food keeps backfiring,
it’s not a discipline issue.
It’s a physiological response to restriction.
When your body feels deprived,
hunger increases, cravings intensify,
and control becomes harder.
Stability comes from consistent nourishment—
not more restriction.
This is the work.
Working with a dietitian helps you understand these patterns and build a more stable relationship with food.

Feeling “out of control” around food is often misunderstood.
It’s not a lack of discipline.
When your body is under stress, under-fueled, or overwhelmed, your physiology shifts—hunger signals increase, cravings intensify, and decision-making becomes harder.
When you learn to recognize what your body actually needs, you can respond in a way that feels more stable and consistent.
This is the work. Schedule an appointment with one of our Registered Dietitians to get started

Most people try to change their behavior by pushing harder.
But behavior doesn’t stabilize without regulation.
Your nervous system and your physiology are constantly influencing how you think, feel, and respond. When you’re under-fueled, overwhelmed, or running on stress, your capacity to regulate decreases.
This isn’t a mindset issue. It’s a systems issue.
Emotional regulation begins with awareness—
and is supported by consistent nourishment.
At any moment, you can pause, notice what’s happening, and begin again.
In this week’s article, we break down how regulation is built through both biology and behavior.
