THE SCIENCE BEHIND MY APPROACH

Bridging The Gap Between Nutrition & Mental Health

What we eat can influence how we feel, think, and function. But our emotions, thoughts, and behaviours also influence how and why we eat. This two-way relationship is at the heart of nutritional psychology.

​

As a Registered Dietitian specializing in mental health nutrition, I combine evidence-based nutrition science with behavioural strategies to support both mental well-being and a healthier relationship with food.​​

*DISCLAIMER:  I am a Registered Dietitian, not a licensed therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist. My expertise lies in the field of nutrition. While I can provide valuable support and guidance in optimizing your nutrition for mental health, it is important to note that my services do not replace the need for comprehensive mental health care provided by licensed mental health professionals. If you are experiencing mental health issues, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, or mood disorders, I strongly recommend seeking guidance from a qualified mental health therapist or psychiatrist. If you are under the care of a mental health professional, it is essential to inform them of any dietary changes or nutritional interventions we discuss during our sessions. By proceeding with nutrition counseling for mental health, you acknowledge and understand the limitations of my services and the importance of seeking appropriate mental health care when needed.
