Healing starts when we feel validated
Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or unexplained mood changes? As a licensed naturopathic doctor specializing in mental wellness, I work to make sure you feel heard while uncovering the root cause of your symptoms. Unlike conventional approaches that often mask symptoms, naturopathic mental health treatment addresses the underlying physiological factors contributing to your mental wellbeing.
Symptoms We Treat
anxiety, panic disorders, depression and persistent low mood, chronic irritability and mood swings, insomnia and sleep disturbances, brain fog and difficulty concentrating, chronic fatigue and low energy, loss of interest or motivation
7% of Canadians and 21% of Canadian Women are iron deficient
Iron deficiency is one of the most overlooked causes of mental health symptoms. When your body lacks adequate iron, it can manifest as:
Anxiety and panic attacks
Depression with persistent fatigue
Brain fog and poor concentration
Weakness and exhaustion
Restless leg syndrome affecting sleep
Through comprehensive testing and targeted iron therapy, many patients experience significant improvement in their mental health symptoms.
Blood sugar imbalance can mirror mental health symptoms
Poor glycemic regulation mirrors mental health symptoms in remarkable ways. Both high and low blood sugar episodes can trigger:
Sudden irritability and anger
Anxiety attacks and feeling overwhelmed
Racing thoughts and worry
Difficulty concentrating and brain fog
Energy crashes and mood swings
As your naturopathic mental health practitioner, I help stabilize blood sugar levels through personalized nutrition plans, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle modifications.
Stress, Cortisol and Time-Restricted Eating
Time-restricted eating strategies, while popular for weight loss, can significantly affect cortisol levels and mental health. Improper fasting protocols may leave you feeling:
Constantly tense and on edge
Anxious about food and eating
Experiencing mood swings
Having disrupted sleep patterns
I work with patients to optimize eating patterns that support both metabolic health and mental wellbeing.
