Pediatric Naturopaths near Durham, CT

I specialize in working with children and adolescents with autism, ADHD, and special needs, including behavioral, social, and emotional problems. My goal is to help patients achieve and maintain optimal health. I work to find the root cause of illness instead of merely treating symptoms. I perform a detailed patient intake, comprehensive physical exam, and order and evaluate both conventional and specialty laboratory tests. Treatment plans are developed and adapted to each individual patient with an emphasis on treating the whole person. I actively involve my patients in their treatment, empowering them to achieve and maintain optimal health.

The goal of my clinic is to restore a person's body to balance and optimal health. This is accomplished by using the constituents of the body, such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and neurotransmitters as well as addressing physical and energetic mis-alignments. Success is also achieved by considering as many aspects of a person as possible, or treating the whole person, and not just relieving a set of isolated ailments; the premise behind Naturopathic medicine is to find the root cause of illness and to address health concerns at their very core, rather than focusing solely on symptoms.

In order to help my patients, I need to know their story. Health problems don't start the first time that a person has a pain, or the first night of insomnia. They started well before that first bout. For example, the problem started long before one develops IBS: IBS is a symptom of the problem. That is why it is so important to take a full history--not just current things but things that may have begun in childhood. So what I do is to listen and ask questions and listen. Once we are both satisfied, we can develop a plan--the goal of which is to help you reach YOUR best state of health.

Mind. Body. Spirit. The three aspects of what makes each of us who we are – all vitally important to consider and address in the journey toward optimal health. Going beyond treating individual diagnoses, my goal is to step back and examine the whole person. Those three components feed into everything we do and everything we are. Each individual is in a unique place and I work with each person toward their own specific wellness goals.

My goal as a practitioner is to give each patient the skills necessary to make healthy lifestyle choices; while supporting them on their journey to optimal wellness.
