Private Practice
If you are interested in working together, feel free to contact us here or book a free consultation here. Once you have contacted us, my team will be in touch with details, to answer any questions you may have and to discuss next steps.
Since availability is limited, I only accept patients I am confident I can help. I work with people virtually through telemedicine worldwide, and locally, in Central FL. For additional information on my practice, based in holistic counseling and functional medicine, and office policies, check here.
Thank you in advance for your interest!
Who do I work with?
Although I am open to and honored by anyone interested in working together, my private practice is dedicated to women with a vision for their health and life experience. I am fascinated by the many hats women wear and roles women play and how this type of work can support their biology and psychology in a way that is both beautiful and sacred and rooted in science. With that said, I work with women who are just beginning their healing journey, women who are deep into it, women hoping to reverse disease, and women looking for a place to breathe, organize and optimize for self-actualization. I also, very often, find myself working with women founders who could fall into any of the categories above. As a signature, my patients are interested in the root cause(s) of the issues and imbalances holding them back and receptive to healing and growth, guided by their very own inner compass. For children, teens, couples, families and group visits, we have specialty policies. For details, please contact us here.
What do I specialize in?
I specialize in creating personalized treatment plans for my patients and partnering with them to make health happen through holistic counseling and functional medicine. Through functional medicine, we are able to assess biology and psychology as we create an evidence-based plan to regulate the nervous system as we look at and address the underlying imbalances (such as: adrenal dysfunction, metabolic disorders, gastrointestinal issues, food sensitivities, hormone imbalances, thyroid disease, heavy metal toxicity, detox pathways, inflammatory markers, genetics, cardiovascular health, blood sugar and more) and take steps toward health. Through holistic counseling, we work with and align to your vision, by developing the healthy habits necessary, as we sort through the issues that stand in your way. Here, we look at the intersection of your mind, body, heart and life as we delve into perception, thoughts, feelings, life experiences, relationships, and the other aspects of our environment that impact health and well-being.
Although I am confident in working with a wide variety of issues and conditions because I see the whole person as one, I have extensive experience and training in taking a holistic approach to work with the following:
How does a holistic doctor, focused on holistic counseling and functional medicine, work with patients?
This is a great question, and each holistic and functional medicine doctor is unique in their approach. In my practice, I bring each new patient through a comprehensive case review process. This sets the stage creating a clear sense of direction and order as we build a strong and resilient foundation.
Before the first session, I have my patients fill out an intensive form, including a comprehensive history, and upload any previous lab reports and information that could be helpful in the treatment process.
From there, in the first session, we go through a complete intake, where I ask questions that will touch on every aspect of your life experience, from the mental-emotional to the spiritual, relational and physiological. Here, we review mindset, diet, lifestyle, current and past intervention, relationships, the systems within the body and anything else that may apply. I’m also interested in what has and hasn’t worked- past and present, what brought you to this point, the specific goals that are important to you and what you would like to experience in the future.
After this first session and the reception of any additional information, I take between 2-4 hours to thoroughly review each case and create a personalized treatment that works as a roadmap moving forward. The plan consists of specific mindset, diet, lifestyle, supplement, and any other evidence based, therapeutic recommendations that can assist you in creating health and reaching your goals.
In the second session, we go over this treatment plan together to make sure it is realistic and that we are both on the same page as we dive into the next phase of our partnership. The treatment plan works as a guide yet it is a living, breathing document that evolves as your experience changes and actualization transpires.
After the case review process, we enter into the partnership phase, where the real work begins. This is where we dive into and engage the let go and grow process in a more specific way, where we look at and learn from what’s coming up and bring in specific, fundamental tools to rewire the stress response, regulate the nervous system and optimize health and well-being. Here, we work directly with perception, the stress response and other holistic tools that can support your unique journey as we build a strong and resilient foundation that becomes a springboard for more.
Throughout the entire process, we work together as partners to restore your power and align your choices with your true self, goals and desires. Here, we also work on the relationship you have with yourself, your body, life and the people in it, and take a holistic approach in evaluating what works and what does not as we explore what life brings your way.
As my patient, I am fully committed to working with you and tailoring the treatment experience accordingly. At the end of each follow up session, I will often send you an email with key takeaways, exercises and notes to focus on. I will often recommend a unique combination of mindset, diet and lifestyle shifts along with helpful, natural remedies that can support the healing process and facilitate the changes discussed in session.

Additional Support
Along with the personalization that comes with the in practice experience, all of my patients have access to curated Let Go & Grow resources, where I am able to interact, share and update information. It is important to me that my patients receive the best of what we have to offer and the tools to build a solid and resilient foundation for life.
What do results look like?
Results range from subtle to quite remarkable- relative to the patient, their effort and condition. Most of my patients are simply relieved to have finally found a solution, or series of solutions, that actually work. They usually surprise themselves as they move forward and breakthrough mental, emotional, and physiological barriers that they never thought possible. This powerful yet simple process yields a change in perspective, increased energy, clarity, health and well-being that most people have never experienced before.
