Life Style Counseling
As a clinical psychologist, I believe that lifestyle
counseling is basic in the understanding of our health
and emotional issues.
The integration of mental health and physical health
solutions has provided me
with a unique set of insights into the human healing
process. Drawing from the traditions of both eastern
and western medicine, I believe in the power of the
body to heal itself and return to a state of wellbeing,
homeostasis. Over 80% of all illnesses and diseases
are stress related, and most likely to contribute to
your everyday health concerns.
As a doctor of psychology with over 30 years of experience,
I have the skill and background to evaluate and treat
mental health issues and their relationships to the
mind-body-spirit connection. This partnership between
the healer and the patient creates new solutions to
old problems.
As children, we learn about the world around us from
our parenting and experiences. Some people see the cup
of water half full, as others see the cup of water half
empty. This perception dominates how we manage daily
life challenges throughout our lives.
Acupuncture integrated with lifestyle counseling provides
a new perspective on our perceptions and habits.
Throughout the treatment the integration of what we
believe and how we feel comes together. Many practitioners
state that “the issues are in the tissues.”
We all need help in understanding the pressures of
our daily life. Work stress is a major player when individuals
feel limited in their choices. Lack of job security,
conflict resolution, effective communication, too much
time away from home and family, are real issues to cope
with.
The numbers of caregivers for physically or mentally
disabled family members are increasing as our population
ages. Isolation, difficult relationships, financial
strain, Alzheimer’s, and living alone, are issues to
acknowledge and provide support for.
Health concerns and health choices are predominant in
people’s minds today. With today’s aging population,
independent living continually needs to be assessed
as health issues become debilitating.
Acupuncture is often the last treatment of choice, and
patients are pleasantly surprised at the fantastic results.
I will work in partnership with you to provide a health
plan incorporating simple steps to better health.
