The goal is to explore the client's mental health issues, including any physical etiologies contributing to the mental health issues for a fully customized holistic treatment plan
It is my greatest joy to serve my clients as healer of bodies, minds, and souls that I strongly feel is my vocation in life. My strength are my natural intuition and empathy towards people with mental health issues. This intuition was borne from personal experiences. I derive utmost joy from helping people navigate their way through their mental health issues and see them overcome and thrive. I also continuously research and stay updated about the most recent evidence-based modalities in mental health to provide the best possible care for my clients.
Adult and geriatric populations, perimenopausal women, PTSD, grieving clients, demotivated clients
Guiding clients to optimize positive thought patterns and reduce negative thought patterns
Holistic body-mind-spirit approach to mental health issues, including medical overview, nutrition, and physical activity counseling.
I have several years of experience working in hospice as a palliative care and hospice nurse practitioner. I help my clients cope with the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive responses to loss through compassionate inquiry.
This is the focus of my doctoral thesis to effect change in behaviors.
