Philosophy

You are the most important part of your healing for healing is an innate attribute of all people. Healing may or may not mean cure and healing can occur on many levels; physical, emotional, psychological or spiritual. From my perspective, I am facilitating you discovering the key to your own healing. That key is often found in the idea that healing is the application of loving to the places that hurt.

You may be surprised to realize that your beliefs, your thoughts, your feelings can either help or hinder your journey to health. It is possible that we will explore these aspects in our sessions together. We now know that the mind and the body are linked. What affects one, impacts the other and vice versa.  Sometimes people are surprised to find themselves sharing painful memories or circumstances.  Some even cry. This is usually a good sign. It signifies opportunities for healing.

I help people help themselves. I designed my practice to maximize this goal. The most noticeable feature of my practice is the time I give you. After you have completed the extensive medical history, we spend an hour together, reviewing your medical and personal history, so that I can fully appreciate your concerns and identify the next steps to facilitate the journey. 

It is important to me that you understand your own body and how it works and what happens when it isn’t functioning properly. Once we have identified your challenges, together we determine further assessment and treatment modalities that may be beneficial. 

I may integrate these modalities myself drawing upon my extensive background and training, or refer you to colleagues who may have additional training. From this point, we will also decide follow-up options. Most of the time, subsequent appointments are necessary, though occasionally phone calls and email follow up will also be utilized. Follow up appointments are scheduled in 30 minute intervals, though shorter or longer periods are available, as necessary.

This business of helping others help themselves requires significant commitment on your part. It is important that you understand your contributions and responsibilities on this journey. I cannot do the work for you, though I am willing to offer support, hope, and encouragement along the way.

I hope you will join me on this journey of healing to health and wellness.
