About Veronica

Hi, I’m Veronica, an RD with a Master of Science in Dietetics and Nutrition. I bring 10 years of experience in clinical, hospital, and community health settings, and I love helping people build healthier relationships with food. I’m credentialed as RD, MS, and LDN, and I blend evidence with practical guidance every day. When I’m not at the desk, you’ll find me playing tennis or padel, lifting weights, hiking, cooking, or listening to a podcast. I care about who you are and meeting you where you are, every step of the way.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is grounded in evidence and real-world action. I’ll work with you in a collaborative, nonjudgmental way, using a weight-neutral approach that focuses on sustainable habits rather than quick fixes. We’ll examine how eating fits into your life, stress, sleep, and routines, so you can feel confident in decisions that support your long-term health. I aim to empower you with clear explanations and practical steps, so you can own your progress and build a healthier relationship with food that lasts.

Your first session with Veronica

Our first appointment is an opportunity to get to know you. We’ll review your medical history, talk about your relationship with food, and discuss short-term goals in a supportive, no-pressure conversation. You don’t need to arrive with all the answers; I’ll guide you and we’ll decide together what a small, doable plan looks like. We’ll set 1–2 goals to start and map out the next steps, all in a space where you feel heard and respected.
