I'm a firm believer that our experiences make us who we are, however, they do not define us. We all have individual and unique paths to walk on this earth, and sometimes that means taking the road less traveled. I, for one have walked many a paths that have not yet been explored, and I would love the opportunity to walk along side you as you choose to move toward healing and wholeness. I believe your state of awareness changes everything, and once you are aware, you have the opportunity to make intentional decisions that will evoke change. I offer psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic modalities to treat the total person.

Welcome to Mind-Body Health Consults, an integrative medicine and psychotherapy practice! I embrace a multi-modal approach to wellness, addressing stress as a mind-body phenomenon, nutrition and gut health, environmental toxicity, relationship and attachment wounds, and existential and spiritual matters. In this work, I draw on my experience with Neuro Emotional Technique, Internal Family Systems therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, and Polyvagal-Informed meditation practices. I also use techniques from Applied Kinesiology to help evaluate nutritional needs and recommend supplements to support healing.
