Frequently Asked Questions

Explore answers to common inquiries regarding services, philosophy, and how I can best support your holistic health journey.

What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative medicine is a healing-oriented approach that considers the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—while addressing all aspects of lifestyle. It blends conventional and alternative therapies to support the body’s natural healing process and emphasizes a strong patient-practitioner partnership.
Core Principles of Integrative Medicine:
Patient-Practitioner Partnership: Healing is a collaborative process.
Whole-Person Approach: Health is influenced by mind, body, spirit, and community.
Balanced Use of Therapies: Integrative medicine values both conventional and complementary treatments.
Evidence-Based Care: It is rooted in scientific inquiry and open to new healing paradigms.
Natural & Less-Invasive Interventions: Whenever possible, the focus is on gentle, effective treatments.
Health Promotion & Disease Prevention: Beyond treating illness, integrative medicine encourages lifelong wellness.
Practitioner Well-Being: Providers are committed to personal health and self-development.
Integrative medicine empowers individuals in their healing journey while combining the best of modern and traditional healing practices.

What is Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and Why Ketamine?

Psychedelic-assisted therapy combines psychedelic medicines with guided preparation and integration to connect with expanded states of consciousness that support deep emotional processing and healing. It has been studied for mental health including depression, anxiety, PTSD and existential distress. Ketamine is a unique and accessible option within this field due to its proven safety profile, minimal drug interactions, and legal status. Sessions include preparation, ketamine administration (oral, IM, or IV), a guided experience, and integration to apply insights to your healing journey. My approach integrates mindfulness, acupuncture, and meaning-centered therapy for a holistic experience. If you’re interested, I offer consultations to determine if KAT is right for you.

What is Palliative Care (Supportive Care)?

Palliative care, also known as supportive care, is specialized medical care focused on improving quality of life for people facing serious illnesses. It addresses physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, providing relief from symptoms like pain, fatigue, nausea, and stress.
This type of care is available at any stage of illness, alongside curative treatments or as part of end-of-life care. A palliative care team works with patients, families, and other doctors to provide personalized support, ensuring comfort, dignity, and well-being.
