After completing her graduate education in Counseling Psychology at Arizona State University she began a two-year residency in Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. During her residency, Dr. Lamb treated high-risk patients whose diagnoses included Borderline Personality disorder, Bipolar disorder, and other serious mental health conditions. Although her counseling background allowed for great healing, Dr. Lamb continuously identified a link between mental and physical well-being, and recognized the need for physical interventions in order to achieve complete wellness. The four-year Doctoral Program at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine provided Dr. Lamb with the additional tools necessary to facilitate total mind-body health for her patients.

She uses natural, safe and effective treatments to unlock the body’s immense potential for regeneration and healing. The underlying goal is always to seek the most empowering path towards wellness that supports autonomy and success for each individual.
