I am passionate about helping my clients find true and meaningful healing by identifying and treating the root cause of disease. I love working with individuals that want more than quick fixes and symptom management, as true healing can be a long and non-linear journey. My clients often seek support with hormone balance, menstrual concerns, thyroid disease, insulin resistance, adrenal support, gut and digestive health and mental health. I work with the entire family, from infancy through adulthood, in creating personalized wellness plans and achieving optimal health.

Naturopathic Medicine is a holistic specialty care approach to health and wellness that focuses on the interconnectedness of the body, rather than disease itself. The goal is to find out the causes of illness, and how different systems in the body affect each other. Natural therapies are used to support the body embark on it's own healing process. The bedrock of Naturopathy is the health and well being of the individual. Naturopathic Doctors choose the most appropriate type of therapy or combination of therapies to use for each patient.

With the combination of my four years as consultant on use of bio-identical hormones, eight years in private practice and five years in research, this has given me valuable work and clinical experience in helping me to be a better doctor. Furthermore, it has given me insight into applying both the science and the art of practicing medicine. I feel very privileged to have worked with Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD during my first three years in practice in Seattle, WA in which cutting edge treatments were used for several chronic conditions.

I specialize in working with individuals dealing with chronic digestive issues, mental health challenges, body image concerns, and women's health issues. Their needs revolve around personalized care that addresses the root cause of illness and imbalance. My goal is to be an ally to help them achieve long-term health and wellness using evidence based alternative treatments, rather than mere symptom management. Throughout the healing journey, I provide valuable education on their health concerns, and empower them with the knowledge and tools to heal and feel resilient.

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.
