Personal Statement
For individuals who are seeking to improve a chronic health condition such as chronic pain, diabetes, obesity, heart problems, digestive issues and food sensitivities, my practice is particularly geared to help. Working in close conjunction with your providing physician and other allied health professionals, I help in developing a treatment plan that minimizes your need to depend on medications and bring about relief and comfort back into your life.
You don't have to suffer alone, feel misunderstood or frustrated. As a medical psychologist, I can help with your emotional and physical health. Your overall health, not just one aspect of your health will be the focus of treatment. Looking at your specific challenges and strengths, a robust cognitive behavioral program specifically awaits you.
