About Joyce

Hi, I'm Joyce. I'm a bilingual Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with 25 years of experience. I earned my BS in Nutrition Science from the University of Puerto Rico and have practiced in clinical hospital and outpatient clinic settings. As an LDN and RDN, I blend evidence-based nutrition with practical, everyday guidance. I specialize in prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic health, with a strong focus on supporting the Latino/Hispanic community. I’m committed to clear, compassionate nutrition that fits your life and culture.

Approach to care

My care is evidence-based and education-forward, grounded in current science yet tailored to you. I believe in a warm, empathetic partnership where you feel heard and never judged. Together we'll set realistic steps, track progress, and adjust as life changes. My approach embraces Health At Every Size, focusing on sustainable behaviors rather than quick fixes, and considers mental, emotional, and physical health. I’m grateful to support you in Spanish or English as we translate science into practical, lasting choices.

Your first session with Joyce

Our first session is a collaborative conversation, not a test. We'll review your medical history and current lab work, establish short-term goals, and discuss how your everyday routine fits with your health plan. I create a safe space free of judgment or pressure, and we'll talk through culturally comfortable options that fit your preferences and lifestyle. You don’t need to have everything figured out; together we’ll outline clear next steps and how we’ll track progress toward your goals.
