Change is at the core of what I help clients do. I began helping clients with identified "nutrition problems" and quickly learned that things often aren't that simple. Broccoli, a quintessential "health food" or "superfood, " represents the obvious with respect to nutrition. Everyone knows "broccoli is good for you." I wanted to explore beyond the obvious.
I believe helping people make changes to benefit their health must go beyond telling people what to eat (or not eat), beyond only considering the "what" of eating, we need to embrace the "how, when, where" and above all the "why" of eating. We also need to look beyond food at other lifestyle factors that impact our overall physical and mental health.
My passion for counseling and education related to nutrition naturally led me beyond, into the spaces where mental health and nutrition overlap. As I worked with clients to explore the complex web of factors that contribute to what they were doing (or not doing), they made progress towards their goals.
