Holistic Health Practices
Whether you are experiencing ill health through chronic illness, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, or substance abuse and poor lifestyle choices, life can be better.
I consult and counsel those who wish to be treated holistically for a variety of issues that may originate from nutritional deficiencies, multiple stressors, chronic pain and illness, poor lifestyle management and normal aging. I also assist clients who do not want medication in treating a variety of mental health disorders including anxiety, depression, substance abuse, ADHD, and stress-related disorders, with supplements such as herbs, vitamins, amino acid therapy, homeopathic suggestions, exercise, diet, lifestyle changes, and other holistic health recommendations.
I assist many clients in getting off many or all of their antidepressant and antianxiety medications by practicing alternative/natural remedies and psychotherapy with their physician's approval. Other treatment interventions include encouraging a healthy diet and living, nutritional support, herbs, mind-body medicine, exercise, decreasing toxicity, stress management, psychological health management, and spiritual renewal. When these habits and others are practiced, the chances of optimal health are achievable and stress related disorders may be alleviated. You are free to decide what direction you want to take and go only as far as you want to.
