Mental Health Nutrition Counseling

 

What you eat doesn’t just fuel your body — it shapes how you feel, think, and cope. Mental health nutrition focuses on the powerful connection between food and mood, helping you support emotional well-being through evidence-based nutritional care.

Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, fatigue, or simply seeking more balance, our work together will explore how food, lifestyle, and physiology intersect to influence mental health — and how small, sustainable changes can make a big difference.

​

How Nutrition Affects Mental Health

The brain and body are deeply interconnected. Nutrients like omega-3 fats, B vitamins, and amino acids support neurotransmitter balance, while gut health and blood sugar stability play key roles in regulating mood and energy. When these systems are supported, it can lead to improved focus, calmer moods, and greater resilience to stress.

 

We’ll look beyond symptoms to understand the underlying factors that may be contributing to how you feel — whether it’s inflammation, hormonal shifts, nutrient deficiencies, or digestive imbalances.

My Approach

As a master's level nutritionist with a national Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) credential, I look at the whole picture — not just symptoms, but we'll work to uncover the root causes that influence your mental and physical well-being.

​

Using a functional medicine framework, I combine nutritional science with systems-based analysis to consider the underlying causes of emotional and physical imbalance. Rather than treating isolated symptoms, we investigate how interconnected factors — including inflammation, nutrient status, digestive health, and hormonal regulation — contribute to mental health concerns.

 

Personalized protocols may include targeted dietary adjustments, therapeutic supplementation, and lifestyle interventions aimed at supporting neurotransmitter function, gut integrity, and stress physiology. This comprehensive, science-backed approach empowers you to take an active role in your healing process and achieve sustainable mental and physical well-being.

​

Our work begins with a comprehensive assessment that considers your personal history, lab findings (if available), and current habits.  This may include functional testing like GI-MAP for gut health, DUTCH testing for hormone imbalances 

 

From there, we’ll design a personalized plan that supports optimal function through:

​

• Targeted nutrition strategies optimize wellness and reduce mental health symptoms

• Key nutrients and supplements to address deficiencies or imbalances

• Lifestyle interventions that promote nervous system regulation and long-term resilience

 

This approach is collaborative, individualized, and empowering — helping you understand your body’s unique story and restore balance from the inside out.
