About Carolina
Food and connection have always guided my work. Over 11 years as a Registered Dietitian, and with an MS in Family and Consumer Sciences: Nutrition and Dietetics, I have supported patients in community health and hospital settings. As an RDN and CLE I blend nutrition science with counseling and motivational interviewing, treating you as the expert in your life and collaborating to create lasting habits. I recharge by dancing, watching cooking shows and food reviews, seeking foodie adventures, and spending quality time with family and friends.
Approach to care
I center care on the whole person, meeting you where you are and respecting that you know yourself best. Grounded in evidence and informed by my training as an RDN, I turn current research into clear, practical steps we'll test together. My work is weight-neutral and behavior-focused, aligned with Health At Every Size principles, and delivered with warmth and curiosity. I prioritize education, realistic accountability, and sustainable habits so improvements last beyond a short-term program.
Your first session with Carolina
Expect a warm, low-pressure conversation where we'll get curious about your relationship with food, routines, and what matters most to you. We'll use counseling and motivational interviewing to listen first, then translate what we learn into a couple of short-term, practical goals. You do not need to have everything figured out. Together we'll leave with clear, realistic next steps that feel doable for your life.
