Conditions for which a mind-body approach may benefit although not necessarily reverse:

The following pathological conditions (diseases inducing tissue damage or structural change) are not necessarily reversible and are not directly treated through neuroplastic techniques. However, it is well understood that many of these conditions are worsened by stress and emotional factors. I am happy to provide a mind-body component to your overall treatment while reserving medical treatment to your primary care provider and / or specialists.
