About Vanessa
Hi! My name is Vanessa and I'm excited to work with you. I bring both science and curiosity to my work. I practiced in private practice before this, helping people translate research into daily habits. Outside the office you’ll often find me cooking new recipes, road-tripping, or camping with a coffee in hand.
Approach to care
Science informs the recommendations I make, and compassion guides how we put them into practice. I follow a Health At Every Size framework, focusing on behaviors and well-being rather than weight. We’ll use evidence-based strategies, clear action steps, and accountability to build sustainable habits that fit your life. I also prioritize the whole person, addressing mental and emotional factors while teaching practical skills so you can make confident choices long term.
Your first session with Vanessa
Expect a relaxed, judgment-free conversation where we’ll go through your medical history and talk about what has and hasn’t worked for you with past dietitians or care providers. I’ll listen to your priorities and together we’ll set a couple of short-term, manageable goals to get started. You don’t need to have everything figured out ahead of time, just come as you are and we’ll build a clear, supportive plan together.
