As a therapist, I was trained in family therapy.  10 years later, I discovered cognitive behavioral to be more effective and to be a better fit for me.  Now 30 years later I have figured out what I want to do when I grow up.

Holistic approaches in healthcare take into account lifestyle factors in disease (that’s dis-ease) and disease prevention and uses treatments that include lifestyle changes and natural remedies as much as possible.

My holistic approach in treating anxiety, depression, insomnia, and pain include assessment of lifestyle including physical, social, relationship, and recreational variables, exercise and sleep habits.

In the past couple years I have added to my repertoire: mindfulness meditation, aromatherapy, and food as medicine.
