As a certified Nutrition Therapy Specialist, 
I have advanced training in nutrition for mental health. ​

  • I can talk with you about the fundamentals of nutrition, and help you evaluate how your diet might be supporting -- or working against -- your physical & emotional wellbeing.
 
  • With a series of questionnaires, I can offer guidance on which amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and/or other supplements (if any), might be supportive of your mental health, based on your specific symptoms or complaints. For some, this provides a safe and affordable means of bolstering every day functioning and mood stability.  
​
  • ​If you need help managing the withdrawal symptoms of transitioning off an antidepressant medication you have been taking for an extended period, I can offer an amino acid protocol for you to discuss with your medical doctor. ​
My training is based primarily on the work of Julia Ross, author of The Mood Cure, among other books.
