health crisis counseling
key questions
- Have you recently been diagnosed with cancer or other complicated health condition?
- Do you wish you had a doctor in the family to ask questions and seek advise from?
- Have you returned home from a doctor’s appointment confused about what your specialist has told you?
- Do you feel like your doctor didn’t answer any of your questions or listen to your priorities?
I can help. I offer Health Crisis Counseling appointments to those patients and families looking for guidance and support navigating a new medical diagnosis.
I am not the expert in your new diagnosis and will always defer to your specialists for specific treatment recommendations.
What I am is a highly competent and skilled, clear communicating, warm and caring doctor with 29 years of experience in medicine and 11 years of experience as a health coach and nutrition specialist. I will approach your care in this health crisis with thoroughness and compassion.
