About Patricia

Hi, I'm Tricia. I'm a Registered Dietitian with 20 years of experience. I've worked in clinical and hospital settings, community health programs, and private practice, helping diverse clients find practical paths to better health. I value science and empathy in equal measure, and I'm always learning. Outside of work, you'll find me spending time with my family, reading, tending my garden, testing new recipes, going to the casino or playing cards with friends. I'm glad you're here and look forward to getting to know you.

Approach to care

I believe care happens best when we work as a team. My practice is evidence based and science focused, translating current research into clear, doable steps that fit your life. I strive to be warm and empathetic, offering a judgment free space where you feel seen and heard. We'll pursue sustainable habits rather than quick fixes and I embrace a weight neutral perspective that centers behavior and well-being over numbers. Together we'll educate and empower you to make choices that align with your values and body.

Your first session with Patricia

Our first appointment is all about you. We'll start by getting to know your medical history, daily routines, relationship with food, frustrations, and goals in a warm, nonjudgmental space. Think of it as a conversation, not an exam, and you don't need to have it all figured out before we meet. We'll explore what's worked in the past and what you want to achieve. By the end, we'll set one or two realistic, personalized goals to guide our next visit and help you feel confident moving forward.
