Serves Area
Ideally, a client who presents with disordered eating and needs a combination of psychotherapy, nutritional therapy, and bodywork or fitness training. Using a holistic approach, I address underlying issues and triggers behind the disordered eating. I teach clients to identify their feelings, use non-food coping skills, awareness of true hunger cues, and become more connected to their bodies by separating food from feelings. Together in a safe, supportive environment, we will explore barriers to change such as body image, exercise resistance, and emotional eating.

Meal Plan Nutritionists and Dietitians
What does menu planning involve?
Menu planning is a strategy used by many dietitians to help clients map out their intake for future meals, often with the goal of improving the quality of the client's diet and/or meeting certain nutritional requirements. Depending on the needs of the client, dietitians may prescribe specific foods for clients or suggest serving suggestions for foods, such as encouraging clients to consume a designated amount of protein or vegetables.

How can a dietitian help with menu planning?
A dietitian can help with menu planning by developing a tailored food plan that aligns with a client’s nutritional preferences and goals. The process typically starts with a nutritional assessment to determine the client’s baseline needs based on factors such as age, activity level, and medical conditions. This assessment is particularly useful for clients who are new to tracking their nutrient intake. Dietitians also provide guidance on portion control and optimizing nutrient intake to ensure a balanced diet. Additionally, if the dietitian specializes in a specific area, such as vegetarian diets or nutrition for athletes, they can offer expert advice to create menus that meet those particular needs while maintaining variety and overall nutritional balance.

Who can benefit from menu planning?
Many people can benefit from planning, as it can be both a time-saving and money-saving option that can also promote physical health. When meals are planned out ahead of time, individuals may be less likely to consume unhealthy alternatives or default to getting takeout food, which may be high in calories and sodium. Individuals with specific diet-related chronic conditions may particularly benefit from menu planning for accountability purposes and to ensure that their diet is supportive of their nutrition-related health goals, such as hypertension management or blood sugar regulation.
