About Vanessa

Twenty years as a registered dietitian shaped how I meet people where they are. My education in Nutrition and Food Science and an MPH, combined with work across hospitals, private practice, community health, and dialysis settings, gives me a broad perspective on real-world nutrition challenges. I'm a licensed Dietitian and RDN who is currently working with dialysis patients and loves SIMPLISTIC cooking, food prep, and staying active. I bring curiosity and compassion to each visit, and we'll create plans that fit your life and the meals you actually enjoy, without judgment.

Approach to care

I root recommendations in current research while keeping the plan practical and kind. We will work collaboratively in a weight-neutral, behavior-focused way that values sustainability over quick fixes. I aim to be empathetic and direct, offering clear, actionable steps and education so you understand the why behind each change. I look at the whole person, including mental and physical well-being and daily routines, and we'll build realistic habits together that stand the test of time.

Your first session with Vanessa

Plan on a relaxed, thorough conversation where we'll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you bring. We'll take a deep look at your relationship with food, explore routines and barriers, and set short-term, achievable goals together. I'll guide you as we draft a meal plan you can try and prioritize first steps. You don't need to have everything figured out, we'll make a realistic, low-pressure path forward together.
