About Sara
I am a Registered Dietitian with a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology, a branch of psychology focused on the character strengths, well-being and behaviors that allow individuals to build a life of meaning and purposeāto move beyond surviving to flourishing. My novel approach to Nutrition Counseling helps to create value-based, self-compassionate, sustainable, healthy behavior changes.
Approach to care
My counseling approach aims to build on what you are already doing well and helps you to develop skills in areas that need support. My goal is to help you discover and appreciate your strengths, create a safe space to discuss your goals and develop your personal one-of-a-kind approach to health and wellbeing.
Your first session with Sara
Our first session will start by getting to know you and your #1 desired "Area of Growth" or what you hope to change positively out of our time together. We will discuss your current health knowledge and habits, important medical history, and unique life circumstances. By the end of the session, I will help you to develop an action plan to help you to take steps towards better health.
