About Verónica

Hi there! I’m Verónica, a bilingual dietitian fluent in English and Spanish, originally from Puerto Rico. I currently specialize in weight management, with over 3 years of experience in bariatric surgery, weight loss medications, and managing conditions like pre-diabetes/diabetes, hypertension, IBS, GERD, and other chronic health issues. What I love most about my work is seeing my clients not only improve their health but also experience a positive shift in their quality of life and mindset. I truly believe that health is our greatest wealth, and I feel incredibly lucky to help individuals achieve their health goals and live their best lives.

Approach to care

My approach to care is patient-centered and individualized, meaning I focus on understanding my client's specific needs, preferences, and goals. I use evidence-based strategies to guide my recommendations, ensuring they are grounded in the latest research. I believe in viewing food not just as fuel but as something to enjoy, and I work with my clients to create sustainable, positive relationships with food that support both their health and happiness.

Your first session with Verónica

In our first session together, I’ll take the time to really get to know you. We'll discuss your likes, dislikes, health history, your current habits, and any nutritional concerns you may have. We’ll also chat about your short- and long-term goals, and from there, I’ll help create a personalized nutrition plan that focuses on small, sustainable changes. My goal is to support and empower you every step of the way, offering ongoing guidance as you work toward your nutrition goals. I’m really looking forward to working with you!
