I offer psychotherapy via telehealth for clients in California, Washington state, and Nevada.  

My counseling approach is whole-person centered, deeply compassionate and accepting while encouraging attention to the core self and an honest exploration of what that brings. I work within a framework of understanding that acknowledges the interconnecting impacts of our innate self, family systems, cultural experience, social inequities and privilege, and intimate relationships on our present experience that can support or inhibit us to live more fully authentic lives. As a therapist, I am person-centered much more than theoretically-centered, but my propensity is to recognize the biological, social, psychological, cultural, and spiritual influences on our whole health. This means that I use a variety of tools depending on the needs of a particular individual, including mindfulness, family systems exploration, and somatic attuning.

  A functional medicine nutritionist does not diagnose disease, but instead focuses "upstream" on the dysfunction at the root-cause of your symptoms, or helps to prevent dysfunction you are susceptible to.

Functional Nutrition involves illuminating the best bio-individual way for each of us to use food as medicine in order to optimize our health and prevent or reverse dysfunction or dis-ease.

Functional Nutrition involves illuminating the best bio-individual way for each of us to use food as medicine in order to optimize our health and prevent or reverse dysfunction or dis-ease. There is no "one size fits all" with nutrition as we each have variations in our genetics, cultural preferences,  health histories, wellness goals, and relationships with food. Most people want to be healthy, but many struggle to make nutrition what it really should be: one aspect of our nourishment as a whole.  

 A functional medicine nutritionist looks at nourishment from multiple angles including food, friends, emotions, work, environment, and thoughts. How we are nourished in each of these areas can greatly affect our health and function. When the interconnections between these parts are truly valued, we have a greater chance of making more permanent shifts in self-care that contribute so significantly to disease and distress.

Functional Nutrition provides an integrative approach that sees the body and mind as an interconnected system that functions optimally when in a state of balance and is well nourished on multiple levels.
