About Vivian

Hi, I’m Vivian. I’m a Registered Dietitian with 3 years of experience and credentials that include an MPH and PhD, plus LD. My formal education includes a Doctorate in Preventive Care, a Master’s in Nutrition, and a Bachelor’s in Psychology. I’ve worked across clinical hospitals, private practice, community health, and sports nutrition, and I love translating science into practical tools for daily life. Outside the clinic, you’ll find me running marathons, hiking, enjoying the beach, visiting dog parks, and trying new coffee shops. I aim to keep care warm, human, and grounded.

Approach to care

My care philosophy blends evidence-based nutrition with empathy and practicality. I stay current with research to guide our plan, but I meet you where you are and tailor steps to your life. We’ll translate science into doable actions, building lasting habits rather than quick fixes. I practice from a weight-neutral lens with a Health at Every Size mindset, focusing on behaviors that improve health and well being rather than numbers alone. It’s a holistic approach that honors mental, emotional, and physical health, and I educate along the way so you feel confident in your choices.

Your first session with Vivian

Our first appointment is all about you. We’ll review your medical history, any lab work or biometrics, and together set short-term goals that feel achievable. You don’t need to have everything figured out yet; this is a low-pressure conversation where we learn what matters most to you. I’ll listen with empathy, ask clear questions, and translate what we find into simple actions. By the end, you’ll leave with a couple of concrete next steps and a plan we’ll follow together.
