    This is a safe space to explore your nutrition and mental health concerns with a registered dietitian and psychotherapist in the same session.

    This service aims to bridge the gap between nutrition and mental health in a way that helps you better understand the foods, meal patterns, and macronutrient needs that can support your mental and physical health.

    This service may include:

    • review of your meals and snacks

    • review of the micro and macro nutrients that would best support your mental health

    • easy meal and snack ideas

    This service is best suited for clients who want a comprehensive approach for the following conditions:

    • anxiety, depression, and ADHD

    • body image and emotional eating

    This service WILL NOT replace nutrition counselling for medical conditions that require intensive nutrition support from a registered dietitian (e.g., diabetes, IBS, eating disorder).

    This service WILL NOT include:

    • nutrition support to lose weight (e.g., calorie goals, meal or diet plans).

nutrition & psychotherapy

  • To get started with the ‘nutrition & psychotherapy’ sessions, book a 60 minute initial psychotherapy assessment. After this appointment, you have two options:

    1. Book a ‘60 minute initial nutrition assessment’ and continue with 75 or 90 minute ‘nutrition & psychotherapy’ sessions.

    2. OR, continue with psychotherapy sessions until you are ready to add nutrition in to your sessions. At this point in time, you can book a ‘60 minute initial nutrition assessment’.

  • Yes, at any point in time you are able to switch from booking nutrition and psychotherapy sessions to psychotherapy sessions.

    Likewise, if you start with psychotherapy sessions (and you are residing in Alberta), you just need to book a 60 - minute initial nutrition assessment to get started with nutrition & psychotherapy sessions.

  • To comply with ethical standards for both professions, your information will be kept separately in discipline specific chart notes.

    In the event that I am unable to continue working, my nutrition notes will be transferred to another dietitian and my psychotherapy notes will be transferred to a psychologist.

  • ‘nutrition and psychotherapy’ sessions involve two separate professions (dietetics) and (psychotherapy).

    To meet ethical requirements of both professions and for your health benefits, billing will be separated by the discipline (nutrition vs. psychotherapy) for time spent in 15 - minute increments.

    For example:

    A 90-minute ‘nutrition & psychotherapy’ session could be billed in the following ways (based on time spent):

    • 75-minutes psychotherapy & 15-minutes nutrition OR vice versa.

    • 60-minutes psychotherapy & 30-minutes nutrition OR vice versa.

    • 45-minutes psychotherapy & 45-minutes nutrition

  • There are a number of workshops from the Primary Care Network (PCN) that aim to tackle topics like mental health, happiness, and chronic pain from a variety of disciplines.

  • As a dietitian, I lack competency in addressing most eating disorders like anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. If you are looking for a dietitian that specializes in eating disorders check out:

    • OR, get a referral from your doctor for a dietitian that focuses on ‘mental health’ or ‘eating disorders’.
