My Approach to Helping
It is not healthy who need a doctor, but the sick (Matthew 9:12). With this in mind, it is my heartfelt desire above all else that you prosper and be in good health, even as your soul (mental/emotional life) prospers (3 John: 2).
I am a Licensed Naturopathic Medical Doctor (NMD) in Arizona, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York. I am passionate about helping people live adaptive lives and have a laser focus on bringing about health and healing so that my patients or clients may grow, flourish, and live fully functioning lives. Since I know that human beings are not just physical bodies, I approach my work with the mindset of finding and identifying the root cause of current dysfunction, negative belief systems, and maladaptive behaviors that cause sabotage and bring chaos in our lives.
Becoming authentic and whole as a human being, in a large part, involves addressing past unresolved traumas... As such, integrating the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our lives is a crucial part of my work. My intention as a professional is to come alongside my patients or clients so that they may find purposeful meaning in their lives. I truly believe we need positive beings in our lives in order for us to live wholesome, authentic, loving, joyful, peaceful, and positive lives, and it is here where my professional work and your life intersect to achieve this.
My fire is lit when I get opportunities to integrate the modalities of Naturopathic medicine with mental health. It literally "floats my boat" when I use a variety of modalities, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, and mindfulness practices. Motivational Interviewing, Acupuncture, Botanical Medicine, DietLifestyle Training, and Homeopathy to restore the beauty of wholeness and wellbeing.
I credit my faith in Jesus for doing this work. I depend on and use Biblical wisdom to access clarity, understanding, and knowledge on how to exquisitely interact with my patients, clients, and people so that in the end, they benefit.
I look forward to working with you.
