Part of the joy I receive from being a physician is meeting people where they are in their health-care journey. Working with you as an individual with a unique history, getting to know your story and what your goals are for yourself is incredibly important. This is treating the whole person. You are not your symptoms or your diagnosis. I view our work together as a partnership: whether you need a cheerleader, someone to hold you accountable or hold space for you to process, I trust the inherent wisdom of your body and your lived experience.

As a Naturopathic Doctor, I focus on the person in front of me, listen to their health needs, and work with them by addressing their entire person. This simply means that I look at every factor that has affected this person throughout their entire life including childhood home life, infections and treatments, surgeries, other trauma, diet, social interactions, and lifestyle. By using these influences together with labwork I work with my clients to create a plan that works for them to support their current complaint by addressing the origin of their concerns. I have worked with all ages and backgrounds to support their health needs.
