About Monica
Hi, I'm Monica, a Miami-based dietitian with four years of experience. I earned an MS in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of North Florida and a BS in Dietetics from Florida State University. My work spans clinical and hospital settings, community health, and private practice, shaping my ability to meet you where you are and tailor plans to real life. I hold the MS, CNSC, LDN, and RDN credentials, and when I'm not working you can find me cooking, exercising, painting, or embroidering. I’m grateful for every patient I meet.
Approach to care
Nutrition is deeply personal, and my approach honors that. I practice an evidence-based, holistic style that is empathetic and warm, while being direct and action oriented. We’ll explore your relationship with food, set clear steps, and build sustainable skills for long term change. I’m committed to a Health At Every Size, weight neutral perspective that centers behavior and well being over quick fixes. Together we’ll translate science into realistic routines that respect your life, values, and pace.
Your first session with Monica
Our first appointment is all about you. We'll review your medical history, current labs or biomarkers, and short and long term health goals, and we’ll dive into your relationship with food and daily routines. This is a collaborative, judgment-free space where you don’t need to have everything figured out yet. You bring your goals and questions, I’ll bring evidence-informed guidance, and together we’ll outline one to two small, achievable steps to start with.
