Question: Where is serotonin (the chemical in your body that helps regulate your mood) primarily made?

Answer: Most people are surprised to learn that around 90-95% of our serotonin is made in our gut, meaning that if our gut health is not in check, chances are we may be experiencing mental distress, too.

As a healer, you understand how the various parts of our bodies work together as one complete unit. That’s why incorporate functional and integrative models into my therapy practice to ensure you receive a healing practice just as unique as you!


Functional medicine looks at the root physiological causes of mental health, physical health, and imbalance in the body. Instead of just treating symptoms as one entity, we identify and address the underlying factors contributing to conditions like inflammation, poor immunity, hormone dysfunction, toxicity, and more.

We may also look at other foundational aspects of your life – such as diet, sleep, exercise, stress levels, and environmental exposures – as tools to sharpen to improve your overall well-being, and especially your mental health.

By addressing these potential root causes along with therapy for trauma, relationships, and career challenges, we can achieve the most comprehensive approach to improving your mental, emotional, and physical health. I meet you where you are and develop an integrated healing plan tailored specifically for you. 


Integrative Healing Models

Integrative care draws from both conventional and complementary therapies to treat the whole person. We may use a combination of modalities to help you find a unique healing process and work on the issues that are holding you back in life.

You’re the only one who has experienced your life. You deserve a treatment model tailored to fit your specific needs, which is where an integrative model will help you work through your specific struggles and help you achieve your specific goals and the life you want.
