How I Can Help Your Patients

 

In medical counseling, I meet with people who are dealing with a challenging medical situation, and who can benefit from referral to a physician who specializes in counseling, yet has the overview of a family practitioner, and is able to spend hours of one-on-one time with each person. I address issues ranging from complicated medical and emotional “outside-the-box” problem-solving and decision-making, to teaching the newest neuroplastic tools which can actually reduce and eliminate pain, discomfort, anxiety, and depression.

 

My techniques include use of neuroplasticity, guided imagery, meditation, stress management, psychotherapy, and others to help people use their internal resources for healing and optimize the treatment response.  I also work with individuals, couples, and families to facilitate communication with medical providers, and decision-making about medical issues, including advanced directive and end of life. I help people through their navigation of a complex and often frightening medical system, and a confusing array of complementary and alternative medicine modalities.

 

 

As a former family physician, I know how difficult it is to provide this kind of time in a busy practice, and that many patients both need a team of health care providers, and often want to find ways to be more personally involved in their own health and healing.
