Medical Nutrition Therapy:
I provide personalized counseling for the management or prevention of chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and gastrointestinal disorders. I will help you understand nutritional science and tailor it to meet your personal needs and goals. A comprehensive nutrition assessment is performed in order to plan and implement specific nutrition interventions using evidence-based nutrition practice guidelines. Follow-ups will monitor and evaluate your progress towards meeting your nutritional goals.
Weight Management:
I provide personalized counseling for weight and body concerns. A complete nutrition assessment is performed and specific nutrition interventions are implemented to build necessary skills to keep you motivated. Your weight management plan is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Rather I take into consideration your unique food preferences and lifestyle. Together, as a team, we will work in a step-by-step fashion to help you learn how to cook, shop, and eat in the best personal way to solve your nutritional concerns regarding weight management.
General Wellness: 
I provide personalized nutrition counseling for optimal health and wellness. A comprehensive nutrition assessment is completed as a framework to set achievable and realistic goals that fit your lifestyle and medical needs. I will teach you how to boost your energy levels and reduce your stress levels through balanced nutrition with whole foods. During follow-up sessions, we will build healthy habits in the areas of food selection, menu planning, and lifestyle modifications.

How Nutrition Counseling Works:
Nutrition Counseling Initial Consultation:
An initial consult will last for 75 minutes. Prior to this consult, I will send you a link to my nutrition questionnaire to be completed beforehand. I also request a 3 day food journal prior to the consult. When we meet for the initial consultation, I will provide nutrition counseling tailored to your specific nutritional concerns and goals. A customized binder will be given to you that will include detailed personalized tips, educational handouts, and meal plans based on your current nutritional needs. Together we will determine realistic, short-term, attainable goals to help you achieve wellness.
Nutrition Counseling Follow-Up Sessions and Packages
A follow-up session will last for 30-60 minutes, based on your nutritional needs. When we meet for a follow-up session, I will inquire about your progress in achieving the previous goals set at the last appointment. Nutrition education will once again be provided and new goals, when appropriate, will be made to ensure the continued progress towards improved nutritional wellness. Follow-up sessions are purchased in bundles of 4 sessions per package. All packages have unlimited email and phone support for the duration of your package.
