When we don't feel our best, we want to feel better as quickly as possible.
With this goal in mind, I offer an unusually effective approach to therapy.
Instead of approaching psychotherapy from a strictly psychological perspective, I combine my training as a Naturopathic
Physician, Certified Clinical Nutritionist and Marriage Family Therapist Intern to
accelerate the healing process in a truly holistic sense. This comprehensive approach helps my clients feel
better faster and enjoy lasting results.
Current scientific research shows that certain lifestyle changes help heal psychological problems better than drugs or
psychotherapy alone.
Furthermore, the research shows that this approach helps to prevent the relapse that can occur during the recovery
process from psychological problems.
This is exactly why I combine psychology, naturopathy and nutrition - so that the people I see
can feel better faster!
My upcoming book, "Holistic Healing," contains thousands of studies on the efficacy of
lifestyle changes on psychological problems, such as anxiety, depression, stress, addiction,
eating disorders, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism and schizophrenia.
By blending my psychological training and my medical background into a holistic approach,
I'm able to facilitate positive lifestyle changes by creating safe, nurturing situations in which many
aspects of mind and body can be addressed at once.
My sessions are powerful and yet unobtrusive. If you don't want to address your nutrition or lifestyle,
we can take a strictly psychological approach. My style is gentle and effective.
While emphasizing positive thinking, trust, self-love, and honesty to open the heart, I encourage self-awareness to
change self-destructive patterns, unconscious belief systems and unhealthy habits.
How I work...
The interactive quality of my work invites safe self-exploration and supports the journey towards meaningful change. The methods I use are subtle, and my clients generally don't know I'm using a
particular technique - only that they feel better!
I'm particularly committed to encouraging a shift towards self-discovery, empowerment, and healthier communication.
Taking the first step is often the hardest. Please contact me when you're ready, as I encourage any questions you may
have. I invite you to discover the empowered path to total wellness.
I currently work as a Marriage Family Therapist Intern under
the supervision of Mary Crocker Cook, License 24835 at Recovery Connections in San Jose.
