Beyond Broccoli

Is it time for a change? Are you feeling stuck, even though you know you need or want to make a change? Have you successfully made changes in the past, only to slowly revert to old behaviors? Or have you come close to making changes but couldn't quite get there? At Beyond Broccoli Mental Health & Nutrition Counseling, we specialize in helping our clients make meaningful changes to benefit their overall health.

When I first started Beyond Broccoli over two decades ago, I wanted to create a nutrition counseling and education practice that approached clients more holistically. I quickly learned that things are often not as simple as telling people what to eat (or not eat). Helping people make changes to benefit their health must go beyond telling people what to eat; we need to embrace the "how, when, where" and above all the "why" of eating. We also need to look beyond food at other lifestyle factors that impact our overall physical and mental health.

Integrated Mental Health and Nutrition Counseling

My passion for counseling and education related to nutrition naturally led me to explore the spaces where mental health and nutrition overlap. As I worked with clients to explore the complex web of factors that contribute to their behaviors, they made progress towards their goals. I realized that I have always been a social worker at heart, and becoming a clinical social worker has made me a better dietitian. The two professions integrate naturally with a collaborative and whole-person approach to empower clients. I am inspired by my clients and enjoy helping them tap into their innate resiliency.

At Beyond Broccoli, we take a holistic approach to mental health and nutrition counseling. We believe that mental health and nutrition are interconnected, and we work with our clients to address the underlying factors that contribute to their struggles. Our integrated approach allows us to provide comprehensive care that addresses the whole person, not just one aspect of their health.
