Naturopathic Doctor north Vancouver BC

A little about me…

My career in mental health began in 1996 as a research student in the Center for Mental Health. I continued with an internship at the Hospital for Sick Children assisting in genetics research for acquired mental disease. Growing up I dreamt of going for a walk in the wild and knowing the names of the medicinal plants and flowers. As a naturopathic student at CCNM that dream came true. It was not in the wild but it was in the Paracelsus Botanical Garden on campus.  It was there that I became intrigued with homeopathic and orthomolecular medicine. They stand at polar opposites.  Both are indispensable treatments for any condition involving the nervous system. After nine years of practicing naturopathic medicine and integrative mind-body approaches to a ranges of conditions from pediatrics to cancer, I still love what I do. And I look forward to helping my clients the best I can.

If your mood or stress is contributing to your physical disease or your mental wellness is being affected, you must remember that you have an inherent ability to heal. That ability is conferred upon you through millions of years of evolution and interaction with your natural environment. It is just that sometimes we need the right conditions for that healing.  Our approach at the Integrative Mental Health Clinic can certainly help.  That does not mean pharmacological medications are not necessary. It means that there is a time and place for them, as there is a time for freedom from them.  Naturopathic Doctor North Vancouver BC
