"Most psychiatric care starts with a prescription. Here, we start with the deeper work — and reach for medication only when it is truly needed."The Philosophy of Integral Health & Healing
The founder of Integral Health & Healing, PLLC brings over two decades of clinical experience rooted in a single conviction: that real healing goes deeper than symptoms.
Her journey began in 2001 as a CNA — a foundation that instilled a ground-level understanding of what it means to care for another human being at their most vulnerable. She went on to become an LPN, RN, and earned her BSN from Arizona State University in 2009, practicing across ICU, transplant, endoscopy, and psychiatric settings as a travel nurse.
In 2022 she earned her Doctor of Nursing Practice from Arizona State University, with doctoral work examining plant-based diets and Type 2 diabetes reversal. In 2024 she was awarded the Diplomate of Lifestyle Medicine — one of the most respected credentials in integrative health.
In December 2025 she earned her Post-Master's Certificate as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, with hands-on experience in ketamine infusion therapy and Spravato — placing her at the forefront of emerging psychiatric treatment.
Her training extends far beyond conventional medicine. A Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate from Cornell (T. Colin Campbell), certified Reiki practitioner, 200-hour Shamanic Yoga training in Peru, Ayurvedic studies in India, Chi Nei Tsang training in Thailand — these are not footnotes. They are the living foundation beneath her clinical work.
She became the practitioner she once needed — someone who understands trauma, anxiety, and the search for care that actually reaches the root. That personal journey is what she brings to every session.
When she's not in session, you'll find her exploring new cities, in nature, on her yoga mat, or home with her four beloved animals: Brody, Sammie, Abby, and Toby.
Specialized Training
The Flower of Life is one of the oldest sacred geometry symbols known to humanity — found across ancient Egypt, India, China, and beyond. It is considered the geometric blueprint of creation itself, the pattern from which all living things emerge and remain connected.
Each circle within the Flower of Life is whole on its own — yet every circle overlaps with, touches, and is held by every other. Nothing exists in isolation. Everything is integral.
This is the philosophy at the heart of our practice.
At Integral Health & Healing, PLLC, we believe that every person carries within them all the parts they have ever been — including the child parts that learned to protect themselves before they had the words, the tools, or the safety to do anything else. Our work is not about fixing what is broken. It is about gently returning to those parts, meeting them where they are, filling in what was missing, and helping each person become fully integrated — whole.
The Flower of Life reminds us that wholeness was never lost. It was always there, waiting to be remembered.
Integral. Of, belonging to, and essential to the whole.
This is not a single-protocol practice. The therapeutic framework at Integral Health & Healing is grounded in the neurobiology of trauma and somatic theory — shaped by the critical clinical recognition that event trauma and attachment wounds are fundamentally different in nature, and each requires a distinct treatment pathway.
At the core of this work is a deep understanding of how trauma lives in the nervous system — not just the mind. Grounded in Polyvagal Theory, the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, attachment theory, somatic theory, memory reconsolidation, and developmental trauma — this approach recognizes that lasting healing requires working with the body and the nervous system, not around them.
"When to Regulate. When to Process. When to Stabilize. One of the most critical and most often overlooked skills in trauma work is knowing which intervention belongs in which moment."
Discrete traumatic experiences such as accidents, assaults, loss, or overwhelming life events are treated using a modified, precision-focused approach incorporating alternative bilateral stimulation. Memory reconsolidation principles, NLP, and somatic Polyvagal tools support the nervous system throughout.
Relational injuries formed in early caregiving environments cannot be resolved through trauma processing alone. This pathway uses DNMS (Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy), an ego-based parts therapy grounded in attachment and developmental trauma theory.
"The goal is not symptom management. The goal is to understand the roots of depression, anxiety, and trauma — and to facilitate the kind of meaningful clinical change that sets you free from them."
This is first and foremost a psychotherapy practice. Deep, transformative trauma work is at the heart of everything we do. Medication, when needed, is always considered thoughtfully — used as a last resort, never a first response.
Root-level psychotherapy grounded in the neurobiology of trauma, somatic theory, Polyvagal theory, attachment theory, and a sophisticated dual-pathway framework. This is not talk therapy — this is deep work, and it is for everyone.

Integral Health & Healing was founded with a deep commitment to inclusivity — creating a space where every person can access care that truly sees them. This practice is intentionally built to serve those who have struggled to find a provider they can connect with privately, culturally, and ethnically — without judgment, without erasure, and without having to explain or justify who they are.
Those who have served and protected others and who carry the invisible weight of that service. Specialized trauma care for PTSD, moral injury, hypervigilance, and the challenges of transitioning out of high-stress roles.
Burnout, compassion fatigue, moral distress, and secondary traumatic stress are real — and they deserve real care. As a nurse herself, the founder understands this world from the inside.
High-functioning individuals who appear to have it together on the outside while carrying anxiety, perfectionism, unresolved trauma, or burnout beneath the surface — who need a private, confidential space to do the real work.
African-Americans, Caribbean-Americans, the Africana Diaspora, Hispanic and Latino communities, and multicultural individuals navigating identity, intergenerational trauma, and cultural stigma.
Transgender, nonbinary, and all LGBTQIA+ individuals deserve affirming, knowledgeable care that understands minority stress, identity-based trauma, family rejection, and the courage it takes to seek help.
Navigating multiple cultural identities, belonging to more than one world and sometimes feeling fully claimed by none — this practice offers a space to explore, grieve, integrate, and celebrate the fullness of who you are.
Your culture is not a barrier to navigate. Your identity is not a complication. Your background is not something to translate or minimize. It is the very context within which your healing will be honored — fully, and without exception.

Rooted in Doctoral Research
"The body is not separate from the mind. What we feed one, we feed the other."
The founder's doctoral research at Arizona State University centered on an innovative pilot study examining the relationship between plant-based diets, Type 2 diabetes, and the potential for reversal in the primary care setting. This work was not academic abstraction — it was a reflection of a lifelong, deeply personal conviction that food is medicine, and that the roots of chronic illness and mental suffering are often found in how we nourish — or fail to nourish — our bodies. She also completed formal Plant-Based Nutrition certification with T. Colin Campbell at Cornell University in 2011, grounding her clinical lens in decades of peer-reviewed research on whole-food, plant-based eating.
Emerging research consistently links higher consumption of whole plant foods — vegetables, legumes, fruits, whole grains — with significantly lower rates of depression and anxiety. The gut-brain axis plays a central role: the microbiome, fed by plant fiber, directly produces neurotransmitters including serotonin and dopamine that regulate mood.
Chronic systemic inflammation — driven heavily by ultra-processed foods, refined sugars, and animal products high in saturated fat — is now recognized as a key driver of depression, anxiety, cognitive decline, and even psychosis. Anti-inflammatory plant foods rich in polyphenols, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids actively counter this neuroinflammatory cascade.
Whole plant foods provide steady, sustained energy by stabilizing blood sugar — unlike refined carbohydrates and processed foods which cause the spikes and crashes that fuel brain fog, irritability, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Stable blood sugar is foundational to stable mood and cognitive performance.
The gut microbiome — the community of trillions of bacteria living in the digestive tract — is now understood to be a second brain. It communicates directly with the central nervous system via the vagus nerve, producing neurochemicals that influence anxiety, stress response, sleep, and emotional regulation. A diverse, fiber-rich plant-based diet is the single most powerful way to cultivate a thriving microbiome.
Plant foods rich in tryptophan, magnesium, and melatonin precursors — including nuts, seeds, legumes, and leafy greens — directly support the body's natural sleep architecture. Poor sleep is both a symptom and a cause of psychiatric disorders; nutritional support for sleep is a clinically underutilized intervention.
The landmark research of T. Colin Campbell (The China Study), Dr. Dean Ornish, and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn has demonstrated that whole-food, plant-based eating can halt and in many cases reverse Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic illnesses — conditions that share deep bidirectional relationships with psychiatric disorders including depression and anxiety.
"The science is clear. The results are unmistakable. A whole-food, plant-based diet is the most powerful tool we have for both preventing and reversing chronic disease."
