Dr. Cameron specializes in assisting adult clients at the intersection of physical and mental health. She understands that making healthy life changes can be very difficult, even when it’s what a person wants most. With a holistic, person-centered approach, Dr. Cameron appreciates each person's strengths as they work together collaboratively to make the most of life in the midst of life-changing medical conditions such as heart diseases, diabetes, chronic pain, chronic diseases, and weight loss goals, among many other health concerns presenting in primary care and other medical settings.
