Integrating aromatherapy and wellness into behavioral healthcare.

As a clinical aromatherapist and clinical social worker, it is my honor to come along side of my colleagues in the behavioral health community, and serve as a beacon to help bridge the gap between knowledge and practice.

The emotional states and well-being of an individual can be influenced by their psychological and emotional reaction to an aroma, as well as the physiological effect. My goal is to empower behavioral health professionals with education related to evidence-based, safe, and effective, aromatherapy.

There has been rapid growth of the use of essential oils for health and wellness. Along with this growth, blossoms new research and approaches. There is no shortage of information out there on “how to use” essential oils. Some of the information is credible. However, the majority of it is questionable.

This leaves behavioral health practitioners wondering about the “when, where, how, how much, why” of using essential oils with their clients. I provide consultation and education for behavioral health professionals, helping you to feel more confident while integrating aromatherapy into your practice.
