About Victoria

Hi, I'm Victoria. I'm a Nashville-based Registered Dietitian with six years of experience, grounded in a BS in Nutrition and Food Science from Middle Tennessee State University and an MS in Clinical Nutrition from the University of Memphis. I’ve worked in clinical and hospital settings and in research and academia, which helps me translate the science to real life. In my practice I value clear communication, empathy, and practical strategies you can actually fit into your day. When I’m not at the desk, you will find me cooking, baking, hiking, or lost in a good book.

Approach to care

Together we'll blend science and everyday life to create sustainable change. My care is evidence-based and educational, translating research into doable steps you can live with. I work in a direct and action-oriented way that respects you as a whole person, not a number on a scale. I practice with a weight-neutral, HAES-informed lens because lasting health is about behavior and wellbeing, not deprivation. I consider sleep, stress, and lifestyle as much as nutrition, and I help you understand the science without jargon so you can make informed choices that fit your life.

Your first session with Victoria

Your first appointment is a warm, collaborative conversation focused on you. We'll start by reviewing your medical history and any lab work or biometrics, then explore your relationship with food and your short-term goals. We'll ask questions and listen so we can set realistic steps together. You don't need to have it all figured out in advance; this visit is about understanding where you are and where you want to go. By the end, you'll have a clear sense of the first steps we will take as a team.
