I have focused my naturopathic medical practice on mental health for over two decades. I have clinical experience with integrating natural health products among individuals taking psychiatric medications. Treatment aims to optimize mental health with clinical nutrition, lifestyle counselling, botanical (plant-based) medicines, prescribed bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (if indicated), and self-care activities.
A caring patient-centred approach to the evaluation and management of mental health from a naturopathic perspective.
I have more than 20 years of clinical experience. I will collaborate with you, and develop practical and evidence-informed treatment plans based on your unique mental health needs. I also provide affordable psychotherapy to a select number of patients. Though I cannot guarantee results, I promise to be there for you every step of the way. My aim is to treat you with respect, empathy, and kindness. While I might sometimes have an off day, I do my best to make every visit a positive experience.
Assessment involves a history, current mental health complaints, mental status evaluation, the appropriate use of laboratory testing, and measurement of mental distress using validated rating scales. My treatment approach is collaborative, and includes self-care activities, and often referrals for additional mental health services and supports
Depression, ongoing mood instability, anxiety, persistent stress, and psychotic experiences are some of the most uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through the integration of naturopathic mental health, we should be able to lessen the overwhelm you are experiencing, to live life more fully with enhanced meaning and purpose.
My approach is integrative and places the psychotherapy in a favourable, positive, and growth-oriented direction. Clients will be encouraged to strive towards personal growth, and to become more comfortable with who they are, and who they want to be. This type of work should result in further opportunities to live better and more comfortably, and to have acquired greater resiliency to handle life’s ongoing adversities.
