I obtained a Masters in Clinical Health Psychology from Bastyr University. It was a unique degree that combined a focus of treating mental health disorders with nutrition. With most clients that come into my office, there is an underlying nutrition support that I can offer them to improve mood, behavior and thought patterns. 

During the intake, we look at your health history, but also your family culture's beliefs and values around health and wellness. Many clients who feel stuck in their health goals are using outdated beliefs about health and wellness. 

I use motivational interviewing skills to help you clearly define your goals and move towards change. Most people don't change because they feel ambivalent and don't know how to process that alone. Making a change requires you to be willing, able, and ready. I provide a space for you to gain these skills to achieve your health goals. 

Examples of clients I have worked successfully with around health psychology have been with infertility, binge eating, autoimmune disorders, history of dieting, hormone imbalances, perimenopause, menopause, and gut disorders.
