Many of the common symptoms people experience are actually related to chronic stress or trauma. This is not recognized by most physicians, so patients are often prescribed multiple medications and referred to many subspecialists, without any real relief of their symptoms. I help patients identify if their symptoms are actually related to stress or trauma, and use brain-based and somatic-based therapies to treat headaches, chronic pain, digestive problems, sleep problems, dizziness, fainting, anxiety, panic attacks or unexplained neurological symptoms (visual changes, non-epileptic events or conversion disorder).

Office at Santa Cruz Integrative Medicine

I'm a board-certified neurologist with specialty training in pediatric neurology, and am also trained in Brainspotting and HeartMath. I combine my expertise as a neurologist with neuroscientific, brain-based and somatic therapies that regulate the nervous system in order to treat physical, mental and emotional symptoms related to chronic stress or trauma.

As a neurologist, I believe that chronic stress and trauma live in the nervous system. I understand how stress and trauma affect physical and mental health, and am committed to using the most effective treatments to bring the body back into balance for optimal health. My aim is to help patients connect to, and heal, their body, mind, heart and spirit.

I often work with clients who experience multiple physical and mental health symptoms, and have seen many providers without significant relief of symptoms. Sometimes the mere stress of having chronic medical issues without a diagnosis can create dysregulation in the body that we can treat. I also work with clients who have medical trauma related to their experiences in the health care system.
