Welcome
If you want to be treated as a unique whole person in your medical care, you have arrived at the right place. It would be an honor to be your doctor.
As a licensed Naturopathic Medical Doctor, I welcome women, men and children (3+ years old) who desire personalized, patient-centered medical care. I treat both acute and chronic imbalances.
I take seriously the root meaning of the word 'doctor' which means 'teacher.' I take the time to share my knowledge with my clients, both in the clinical setting and through my community events and newsletter.
Being a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) means the focus is going to be on you as a whole person and getting to the root cause of health imbalances to help restore your body's natural state, wellness.
The emphasis will be on helping your body be well naturally, operating in the sweet spot between science, ancient wisdom, natural wellness and common sense.
You have arrived, take a breath, and re-imagine what medical care looks like.
If you are intrigued by this approach, read on….
I would be honored to be YOUR DOCTOR.
As Your Doctor:
- I will dig deep to do a thorough intake to understand the physical, mental and emotional components that shape you, your health and your wellness.
- I will educate you in all components of your health from understanding the clinical significance of your labs to making a health plan that is actionable for you.
- Naturopathic Physicians bring the most training in the medical field to understand “food as medicine”, botanical medicine, lifestyle interventions, and functional lab testing in developing a personalized medical plan for you.
Services
Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic Medicine is a detailed and comprehensive medical system that sees you, the patient, as a unique person. We know that the choices you make in food and lifestyle affect not only your physical body, but your mental and emotional state as well. We are medical General Practitioners who see you as a whole and will not only treat your current “dis-ease”, but restore you to an overall state of vitality, health, and wellness.
Nutritional Genomics
Your genes are a blueprint, but not your destiny. By understanding your epigenetics, how your genes are expressed, a clinical and scientifically actionable plan can be developed to optimize your health.
Botanical Medicine
Botanical/Herbal medicine has been a core part of every culture throughout all of history as a healing modality. Today, we have so much science behind the use of botanical medicine and so much understanding of how botanical medicines can prevent, heal and rejuvenate our bodies.
Traditional & Functional Lab Testing
A comprehensive approach to wellness using traditional labs and imaging, combined with extensive Functional Lab Assessments, as needed, to get to the root of the problem.
Ayurvedic Lifestyle
Ayurveda, the Science of Life, provides us with deep insights as to how to optimize our health to work best with the rhythms of the day (circadian and ultradian), the rhythms of the month (infradian) and the rhythms of the year and our lives.
Constitutional Hydrotherapy
In this treatment, alternating hot and cold water is gently applied to the torso with the adjunct of sine wave therapy at various points during the treatment. Benefits include improvement in immunity, circulation, digestion, and decreasing stressors on the nervous system.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a gentle and natural healing system that works with the body to relieve symptoms, restore vitality, and improve overall health. It is a federally recognized form of medicine regulated by the FDA.

We will be offering Seasonal Transition health reboot programs, as well as other events that will help you to engage, learn and take back "power" for you own health.

Conditions I Work With
As a Naturopathic Medical practice, I am in a “general practice”, treating both chronic and acute diseases and imbalances in females, males and youth (3 + years old).
I recognize that you are a lot more than your symptoms. My goal is to get to the “root” of your problem, restore wellness and vitality and prevent future disease. Below is an overview of some of the key conditions that I treat.
