DOTS Wellness FAQs

As a functional medicine practitioner & therapist, I treat complex, chronic gut, brain, pain, and mental health issues for patients who reach the limits of traditional healthcare and are unable to get relief. Some of the conditions I treat include:Gut health & digestive issues, like chronic bloating, diarrhea, constipation, IBS, IBD, SIBO, SIFO, GERD, acid reflux, and silent refluxMental health issues, like anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, CPTSD, depression, OCD, ADHDChronic pain & chronic fatigue issues, like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndromeNeurological & brain health issues, like migraines, neuropathy, brain fog, Tourette's, and ticsI'm a holistic practitioner who looks beyond symptom management and investigates root cause of chronic health conditions so that my patients achieve long-term relief. I treat root cause through a proprietary approach called the DOTS Method™, which blends functional medicine and therapy for true mind-body healing.

Yes, and most of my patients find me after they have seen several practitioners but get few results. Because chronic symptoms are often complex, and the cause is usually multifactorial. Therefore, the treatment needs to address all of the underlying causes of the symptoms. Unfortunately, traditional healthcare — while excellent for acute care — struggles to provide solutions that help chronic illness, like chronic gut health, brain health, pain & fatigue, and mental health. That's why as a functional medicine practitioner and therapist, I created the DOTS Method™. My proprietary approach is different because I investigate the root causes behind your symptoms and blend functional medicine and therapy to treat the causes. We connect the DOTS so you can achieve optimal health. Discover — We dive deep into your health history, prior labs, childhood experiences, family history, diet, lifestyle, and more. We uncover clues that traditional medicine might miss.Organize — We connect the DOTS to determine what is driving your symptoms, like gut dysfunction, inflammation, toxins, nutrient deficiencies, or nervous system stress.Treat — With my guidance and support, you work your personalized treatment plan and begin your transformation to optimal health. Simplify — Complexity gives way to clarity. You know what's driving your symptoms, what to do about it, and why. Healing is achievable instead of overwhelming.

Yes! I’m happy to work with adults, teens, and children. For younger kids, I often partner closely with parents or caregivers to make the process simple and supportive. My goal is to create a plan that feels doable for the whole family while helping your child feel safe, understood, and cared for every step of the way.

Expect a collaborative conversation with a partner who has been in your shoes and genuinely cares about helping you feel your best. My patients are important to me. I prioritize taking the time to listen to you, hear your story, and get to know you.Our first session, called the DOTS Method Discovery, is a 60-minute comprehensive investigation into your health history, medications, supplements, diet, lifestyle, family history, prior labs, and more. We begin to uncover root causes behind your symptoms. Depending on your case, we might order functional medicine and/or traditional medicine labs to provide more data. We might also make adjustments to your diet, lifestyle, movement, and supplements.Your next session, if you choose to move forward, is part of the DOTS Method Program, which includes weekly 30-minute sessions and concierge-level support between sessions via direct messaging with me through our HIPAA-compliant client portal.In our weekly sessions, we will review new labs, refine your custom treatment plan, and work on removing any obstacles that block your success.Most importantly, you always work directly with me. You will never be handed-off to a health coach for follow-up visits. Having that continuity of care means that you'll always get support, encouragement, and compassion from someone who understands you and has stood beside you on your health journey.

Your first session, called the DOTS Method Discovery, is a 60-minute comprehensive investigation into your health history, diet, lifestyle, family history, and more.Follow-up sessions are part of the DOTS Method Program and are 30-minutes in duration.

Most of my patients continue working with me through my DOTS Healthy for Life Program, which includes one-on-one sessions, continued education through webinars, guest speakers, and more.

At DOTS Wellness, we’re proud to be insurance-free. That means your care is guided by what’s best for your health, not what’s billable on a claim form. Insurance companies often limit the time, depth, and type of care you receive, but functional medicine and psychotherapy don’t fit into those tiny boxes.Being insurance-free allows us to: ✔ Spend more time with you (no rushed 15-minute visits) ✔ Go deeper to uncover root causes, not just treat symptoms ✔ Create truly personalized plans tailored to you, not a diagnosis code ✔ Recommend the best labs, treatments, and supplements without restrictionWe believe your healing shouldn’t be dictated by red tape. Our clients value the freedom, flexibility, and results that come with choosing a practitioner who works for you, not an insurance company.

Of course, it would be unethical of me to guarantee results by a certain time frame. Generally speaking, depending on the root cause and treatment plan, some clients start to notice improvements in 7-14 days. Of course, transformative change does not happen over night, and long-term healing takes time. Considering that you are a unique human being with a very specific set of symptoms and circumstances... Your evolution to optimal health is a marathon, not a sprint. You're on a magnificent journey to the best version of you. It's hard to put a date on that. :) Also, I'm not the boss of you. Your results depend on you. Results themselves are up to interpretation. Timing is based on a plethora of influencing factors. Your body will respond differently to treatment than others. Only you can decide if you feel improvements or positive changes because you are the only expert on you. I sincerely believe that our work together provides you with growth and transformation, but I cannot guarantee or expect that to be the case. Having said that, I have confidence in my approach, training, and skill set. I'm confident that our work together will be rewarding, but I cannot guarantee results. I would be suspicious of anyone who does. If you follow the treatment plan and diligently work the work, you'll get results. I have a long history of helping people achieve their health goals and resolving root cause of chronic illness. I trust our work together will provide you with a similar success story.

I'm a root cause medicine practitioner who integrates mind and body. There is a vast communication network between mind and body. For example, science has proven there exists a gut-brain axis that allows communication to flow freely. Mind and body work in concert. To truly heal, we must not ignore this sacred integration.

No, I am not a doctor. In fact, when someone asks me that question, I feel like Erin Brockovich in that movie scene when asked if she's a lawyer.I'm a chronic illness specialist who genuinely cares about figuring out why you feel the way you do. And, more importantly, helping you fix the root cause of your chronic health struggles so you achieve optimal health.More specifically, I'm a functional medicine practitioner and licensed professional counselor (LPC). In addition, I'm a triple certified coach, and I hold the Applied Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice (AFMCP). I'm a candidate for certified functional medicine practitioner (FMCP) and completed all of my training in functional medicine through the prestigious Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM).
