When we don't feel well, we want to feel better as quickly as possible. With this goal in mind, I offer an unusually
effective approach to psychotherapy.
Instead of approaching psychotherapy from a strictly psychological perspective, I combine my Masters in Psychology
with my Doctorate in
Naturopathy to accelerate the healing process in a truly holistic sense. This comprehensive approach helps my clients feel
better faster and enjoy lasting results.
A large body of recent scientific research confirms that complementary and alternative therapies help heal psychological problems significantly
faster than drugs or psychotherapy alone. Moreover, clinical studies report that this approach markedly reduces the incidence of relapse
that frequently occurs as we recover from psychological distress. This is exactly why I combine psychology, naturopathy and nutrition - so that
my clients can return to health and happiness quickly and stay that way.
My book, "Healing and Wholeness: Complementary and Alternative Therapies for Mental Health," contains thousands
of studies on the scientifically-proven efficacy of using such therapies in the treatment of the following mental health problems:
- Depression
- Seasonal Effective Disorder
- Postpartum Depression
- Bipolar Disorder
- Anxiety Disorders
- Insomnia
- Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Autistic Spectrum Disorders
- Schizophrenia
- Eating Disorders
- Substance Abuse Disorders
- Nicotine Addiction
- Chronic Fatigue
- Stress Management
- Cognitive Decline and Dementia
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Parkinson's Disease
In order to create a therapeutic environment that's a powerful catalyst for positive change, I've studied a wide variety of
healing modalities. I have over a dozen certifications, including a Doctorate in Naturopathy, Masters in Psychology, and accreditations as a
Nutritionist, Herbalist and Hypnotherapist.
By blending my psychological training and medical background into our psychotherapy sessions, I'm able to facilitate positive
lifestyle changes by creating safe, nurturing situations in which many aspects of mind, body, and spirit can be addressed at once.
How I work...
The interactive quality of my work invites safe self-exploration and supports the journey towards meaningful change. The
methods I use are subtle, and my clients generally don't know I'm using a particular technique - only that they feel better.
My sessions are powerful and yet unobtrusive and my style is gentle and effective.
If you don't want to address your a particular topic, such as nutrition or lifestyle, we can take a
strictly psychological approach. While emphasizing positive thinking, trust, self-love,
and honesty with an open the heart, I encourage self-awareness to change self-destructive patterns, unconscious belief systems
and unhealthy habits. I'm particularly committed to encouraging a shift towards self-discovery, empowerment, and healthier
communication.
Taking the first step is often the hardest. Please contact me when you're ready, as I encourage any questions you may
have. I invite you to discover the empowered path to total wellness.
Warmly,
