Services I work with clients on an individual basis to facilitate changes to help them realize their dietary, health and physical goals. My clients and I work as a team, using information about their individual lifestyles, needs, preferences and desired outcomes to create a personalized program for optimal health. My counseling approach blends scientific knowledge with lifestyle management skills.

Eating disorders are becoming
more and more prevalent in our society. They include, but are not limited to, anorexia
nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating. Many people have a combination of symptoms.
Treatment consists of a combination of psychological therapy, nutrition therapy,
and medical treatment when necessary. Together, these components allow the client to
work through the recovery process. Depending on the client's specific symptoms and needs, nutrition therapy may include gradually increasing intake and introducing new foods for those with anorexia, teaching bulimic clients how to control the cycle of binges and purges, and identifying trigger foods for binge eaters. These are difficult issues to resolve. I help clients make gradual changes at a pace they feel comfortable with in a safe and supportive atmosphere. I regularly collaborate with the therapists and physicians involved to ensure a positive outcome.

I base my weight management
nutrition therapy on the non-diet approach. With this method, I can help my clients
become more in tune with their bodies and teach them how to understand their feelings of
hunger and satiety. We uncover the reasons why they may eat when their bodies are
not physiologically in need of food. We explore various alternatives for emotional
eating. We also will address the issues of body image and fitness. My clients
learn to eat in accordance with their bodies needs in an intuitive, rather than a
diet-enforced, way. Through this process, clients are able to gradually reach and
maintain a body weight that is appropriate, healthful and comfortable.

What we eat has a major impact
on our current and future health and well being, both physically and emotionally. A
varied diet, one that is rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, with adequate
amounts of low-fat protein sources, is essential for good health. Results of
scientific studies appear daily in the news about the impact of diet on health, including
how to lower the risk of diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Using
the Food Guide Pyramid as a foundation, I work with my clients to individualize a way of
eating that is appropriate for their bodies specific needs, their lifestyles, and their
taste preferences.
