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.

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.

I am Board certified Naturopathic Physician and Registered Nurse licensed in the State of Connecticut. I use patient-empowerment approach to achieve the highest level of health possible by supporting the body's own healing processes. Illness may provide opportunities for positive change and new balance in life towards its meaning and purpose. Naturopathic medicine can be used as a preventive medicine, as intervention in acute stages of diseases and during recovery periods; also as support in various chronic conditions and can compliment conventional treatment plan decreasing side-effects of drugs. Each patient is treated with recognition of individual uniqueness.

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.
