Here is why this process is different:
I look at the whole body as a system that continuously effects each of its parts. This means we look together at all of your health and how each part affects another.
I am direct with you, that no B.S. type of communication, in a kind way of course.
I talk about how systems affect us in American society whether we like it or not and how to break through these barriers society has set for us. Break through the red tape baby!
I read leading research which is imperative for healthcare due to how science is always evolving. Something we believe may not be accurate but was viable and optimal even just a few years back.
I promise to be transparent with you about your insurance claims/limitations and how this confusing system works.
I love to help clients heal whether it is with medication or not. We can heal holistically if that is what you prefer and I am here to support it. I think there is a time and place for medication but we can heal without medication at times.
I use a mix of different theories and modalities to best serve your needs and complexities. We are all unique in our stories and one way does not work for everyone. I attempt to honor this in the best way I can. Have fun googling the one of the items below and see if it aligns with your value system!
