About Maria

As a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, my greatest passion is helping individuals and families achieve their best possible health and well-being. With over 6 years of experience, I believe in an evidence-based, patient-centered approach, where we work together to understand your unique needs and develop a personalized plan. I strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered in your healthcare journey. My focus is not just on treating symptoms, but on fostering long-term health and helping you live a full and vibrant life.

Approach to care

My approach is deeply patient-centered and evidence-based, meaning we'll work closely together to understand your unique lifestyle, preferences, and health goals. I'm dedicated to providing clear, practical guidance and empowering you with the knowledge and tools you need to make sustainable changes.

Your first session with Maria

Our first meeting will be all about you. It's a chance for me to get to know your unique health journey, lifestyle, and goals without judgment. We'll start with a relaxed conversation covering your health history, current eating habits, and what you hope to achieve. Based on this, I'll provide personalized, evidence-based insights and actionable steps you can start taking right away. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your path forward and a plan for how we can work together to help you reach your best health.
