The mind, body, and spirit are inseparable. Therefore, there can be physical circumstances underlying mental health disorders, and vice versa. A person may be experiencing unknown food allergies, inadequate nutrition or vitamin deficiency, environmental toxicity or have genetic factors that lead to suboptimal function and disease. I have been very successful working with patients with ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health disturbances using an integrated naturopathic approach. My treatment plans include diet and lifestyle modifications, nutraceutical and herbal interventions, counseling, physical medicine, and prescriptive medications. My approach is holistic and goes beyond the benefits of talk therapy alone.
During my training, I spent the better part of a year studying with a mentor who was dual licensed as an MD/ND and a board certified psychiatrist. She taught me a great deal about integrating naturopathic modalities and managing prescriptive medications relevant to mental health.
What I offer is a unique approach to patients and a different perspective on health and wellness. My goal is to empower my patients and assist them in making the most effective decisions about their healthcare. I collaborate with my patients to design plans that suit their needs and goals.
