My Approach

I strive to meet my patients where they are at.

This might mean a homeopathic or herbal remedy would be the best fit or it might mean that a medication would be the most appropriate choice. There is no judgement here. My number one priority is to help you feel your best!

I do not have a dogmatic or “one-size fits all” approach.

Different things work for different folks.

We work together to find the care plan that best suits you.

As an ND I have many tools in my tool kit.

I use every modality I have training in including botanicals, homeopathy, nutrition and pharmaceutical prescribing when appropriate.

I believe in collaborative care and enjoy being part of a care team that includes other holistic and conventional medical professionals. Some of the provider types I frequently collaborate with for care of my patients include MDs, NPs, PAs, PTs, OTs, chiropractors and acupuncturists.

THE SIX PRINCIPLES OF NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE

  • First, Do No Harm

    Naturopathic medicine aims to use the most effective and natural options first, therefore reducing the risk of harmful and lasting side effects often caused by more invasive options.

  • The Healing Power of Nature

    Naturopathic medicine recognizes the body's inherent ability to heal itself.

    Naturopathic medicine works to identify and remove obstacles in the pursuit of recovery to help facilitate the your body’s own ability to heal.

  • Treat the Whole Person

    Naturopathic medicine treats each individual by taking into account physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental and social factors.

    Complexity is not only part of human nature, but something that should be both celebrated and supported.

  • Identify & Treat the Cause

    The naturopathic medicine was created to identify and remove the underlying causes of illness, rather than eliminate or merely suppress symptoms

  • Doctor as Teacher

    I am here to help educate, provide lasting support, and create a solid foundation when it comes to feeling your best.

    When it comes to your body and your self, you are the expert.

  • Prevention

    Naturopathic medicine helps you make choices that will not only have you feeling well now, but down the road. This is done through gentle guidance and educated decisions on what lifestyle and daily practices best suit you.
