My medical practice of over 20 years focuses on the treatment of the whole individual to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. I have designed my practice as a nurturing environment where the physical, as well as the emotional, history lays the groundwork for treatment. Through this approach, I treat the cause of disease/illness rather than just the symptoms. Utilizing effective and appropriately individualized treatment methods, the patient is guided towards balanced health. The goal is to create optimal wellness by identifying and eliminating the stressors on a patient's system and supporting the body's physiology.

The human body is a system, complex, intertwined and in rhythm with family, community and universe. As a system, it is managed by the endocrine system, or your hormones. Each stage of growth, development, change and adaptation is managed by the hormonal and autonomic nervous system. Understanding the critical aspects of you that allow you to adapt either effectively or ineffectively and maintain healthy or unhealthy homeodynamics is my passion. I want to hear your story, understand your physiology and provide the guidance and treatment specific to your needs to allow you to live a healthy and vibrant life.

Since 2007, I have specialized in Neuro-Endocrinology - which is essentially addressing the way the brain is communicating out to the endocrine (hormone) glands. This involves balancing brain neurotransmitters for changes in mood (depression, anxiety, irritability), sleep, pain, cravings and digestion as well as any changes in thyroid, adrenal, blood sugar and female/male hormonal status. If you feel like you are stuck in survival mode, wired and tired, your sleep has suffered and your hormones feel off-balanced -you are a great fit for my practice!

I help patients get to the root of their health concerns with both a scientifically grounded and authentically holistic approach. My goal is to address the underlying causes of illness, going beyond symptom management. My patients appreciate that I take the time to listen and to get to know them. This way I learn about the many factors influencing their health and provide recommendations in alignment with each person's unique story. While I see a diversity of patients, I most commonly help people with digestive issues, hormonal changes, mood and neurotransmitter imbalances, and immune problems, including autoimmunity.

How to tell if Naturopathy is right for me?
A California naturopath is a practitioner of naturopathy, a form of alternative medicine based on the idea that the body has an innate capacity to heal itself. California Naturopaths improve health by treating the person holistically, tapping a person's own internal body, mind, and spirit resources. Naturopathy comprises a blend of different therapies, all attempting to restore the body to health in the most natural, noninvasive way possible by stimulating the body's own healing powers.
About California Naturopaths?
Graduates from accredited naturopathic medical schools may use the academic title 'Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine' or 'ND' but there is no standardized professional title in all states (see below).
