WELCOME TO EBB AND FLOW NUTRITION AND MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING
Helping clients navigate the connection between their bodies and minds
MY PRACTICE
Ebb and Flow was named to describe the natural changes that each person experiences in their lives, be it day to day, season to season, or year to year. I use a unique blend of nutrition and mental health counseling to help clients find balance, health, and self acceptance so that they may be more flexible and empowered in their own lives.
AREAS OF FOCUS
NUTRITION COUNSELING
Diet in Latin means "to live one's life"
I believe that every body is different and every body is perfect. It is my focus to help clients get reacquainted with their bodies and their bodys' needs. For this reason, I do not promote "diets" as these are centered around external cues (food lists, portion sizes, forbidden foods, etc). This focus further takes each of us out of our own bodies. Here at Ebb and Flow, I work with you to help you rediscover your internal cues so that you can begin to feel confident in your food and nutrition choices and be free from the diet culture. With this freedom you can discover an increased sense of self, body acceptance and self compassion.
MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. -The Buddha
Nutrition affects our mental health and our mental health affects our nutrition. At Ebb and Flow, I support your exploration of this connection so that you can better understand the relationship between your emotional and mental well being and your nutrition choices. I create space to help the client figure our their true relationship with food and how this impacts all aspects of them. In addition, I work with clients on other challenges like anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. I also spend time exploring other factors in your life that may be having an impact on your mood such as sleep hygiene, coping mechanisms, boundary setting, communication style, and identifying needs.
DISORDERED EATING/EATING DISORDERS
In addition to providing nutritional counseling, more specifically, I work with clients who are struggling with eating disorders and disordered eating. I use a multitude of approaches to help each client, depending on their specific needs, where they are on the Eating Behavior Spectrum, and personality differences. Underlying themes for everyone include: exploring what Diet Culture is and how it has shown in up their lives, exploring body messages, increasing coping skills, increasing authenticity and self acceptance, and learning Intuitive Eating
