I have additional training and specialization in Trauma Recovery and Autism Spectrum Disorders.
I employ a humanistic approach incorporating traditional medicines and complementary supplements based on the holistic assessment and needs of each individual client. No two clients are exactly alike, therefore no two treatment plans are exactly alike, but all are developed with evidenced based practice.
