I treat psychiatric illness by getting to know a person by listening to their story. Individuals are a harmony of body and mind. Medications are sometimes necessary to help a person manage their day to day life but they are not sufficient. I use medication if necessary and therapies that are suited to the individual patient. The focus is primarily on lifestyle therapy because this practice integrates body and mind. Lifestyle medicine includes diet, exercise, meditation and stress reduction along with cognitive therapy. With the right support, education and practice a person can experience happiness. I have a background in Philosophy; receiving a BA in Eastern Philosophy prior to a Masters of Science in Nursing specializing in Mental Health. I have studied Cognitive Therapy at the Beck Institute and have lectured in the United States, China and Turkey on the usefulness of Cognitive Therapy, Meditation and Exercise.
