“Naturopathic Medicine is more than alternative, it’s fully encompassing. It’s not supplemental, it’s front-line. When you are feelings sick, come see me, not just to get better, but to understand what brought you there from the start. When you need personalized healthcare to meet the specific nuances of your body, you come to me. When you need your annual physical, come visit the same person who knows your whole body and can sense where your tune-ups are needed. When you need to navigate the larger hospital systems for specialist consultations, I lead the way so you can get the most clarity and the best treatments you need. When you’re feeling in a fog, uncertain of how to take the next pivotal step in reaching your health goals, come talk to me.
Facilitating and educating my patients about the health and physiology of their own bodies as well as the medical world we steer through is the foundation of my medicine. I am here to help you learn how to make healthy choices in order to take better care of your body all on your own. I am a guide, a teacher, a facilitator and a counselor to each person who walks into my office, helping you make the changes you know you need to make. I focus on diet and lifestyle counseling, nutritional and herbal supplementation, hydrotherapy, homeopathic and physical therapies to start your body changing back to a more balanced state.
I am passionate about working with women, families and kids, especially teenagers. Teens deal with not understanding how their bodies work but are not always willing to talk to their parents about what’s going on. I can assist that conversation. Women’s health is my specialty, treating common conditions such as cramps and PMS or abnormal PAPs and cervical dysplasia with less invasive techniques. Above all else, I see myself as a family doctor, here to guide and inspire people to live a healthier and more heartful life.”
