Depression Nutritionists and Dietitians near 55416

I'm passionate about helping individuals develop & maintain a peaceful relationship with food. I whole-heartedly believe that proper nutrition plays an important role in keeping one’s mind and body functioning to the best of its abilities, but that it doesn’t need to be as complicated as society might lead one to believe. I believe in an "all foods fit" approach and will strive to help you optimize your nutritional intake while honoring your body's hunger cues & genuine cravings. I'm a Health At Every Size RD and focus on behaviors with food over the number on the scale - because there is so much more to health than what you weigh!

As a licensed physician who works in a functional medicine model, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and health coach, I work with patients with chronic diseases and symptoms to optimize their health and limit their medications through identification and healing of their core health imbalance(s). I see patients who are dealing with a wide variety of symptoms, including fatigue, anxiety and depression, IBS, autoimmune disorders, fibromyalgia, arthritis, leaky gut, menopausal issues, and cancer risk reduction-primary and secondary.

My goal is to help people of all ages develop and maintain a peaceful relationship with food. Eating is meant to be enjoyed. However, eating can often become complex, confusing and stressful. I use a non-diet, Health at Every Size (HAES)-informed, "all foods fit" approach to help individuals build trust in themselves and their bodies. Let's optimize your nutrition while honoring hunger cues and cravings.

Food has the unique ability to bring people closer together and promote healing. However, mental health profoundly impacts food. By creating sustainable eating patterns, overcoming food biases, and weight stigma, I helps clients redefine their understanding of health to focus on overall well-being, rather than just weight and dieting.
