About Bernadette
Hi, I'm Bernadette! I'm a Registered Dietitian and Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Arizona. I have been practicing for over 25 years as a RD and 10 years as an integrative counselor specializing in weight management, body image, emotional eating, diabetes and stress management. I have extensive experience in Motivational Interviewing and believe in an indivdualized approach tailored to the clients experiences and goals for best results.
Approach to care
I meet clients where they are and together support clients each step of the way. Using an integrative approach allows for uncovering blocks and meeting challenges in a comfortable personal space to where you are able to make the changes you are ready to explore. Enjoying your meals, learning to appreciate your body, and make decisons that fit your goals are the key focus to my approach. Looking at nutrition supplementation, lab work, activity, and creating realistic meal plans are vital in experiencing optimal well-being.
Your first session with Bernadette
Each session is designed for you to where you are comfortable to explore. Together, we can look at what your strengths are, overall goals, and design a program for you in our first session. This is a great time to answer your questions, develop a comfortable relationship and plan to meet your needs.
