Pediatric Naturopaths in Connecticut

I am passionate about helping my patients achieve their optimal health by getting to the root cause of their condition. My focus is on whole wellness through health promotion, disease prevention, and empowerment. My family practice offers a patient centered approach to women's and men's health conditions, hypertension and stress, metabolic syndrome/diabetes, thyroid conditions, hormonal balance, weight management, pediatrics, and gastrointestinal disturbances.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I believe health comes from being able to identify what the obstacles are to your healing. Whether these are internal imbalances, external toxins or a combination of both, identifying the root is the key to taking your health back. My areas of work include women's hormones and children’s health. In addition to my Naturopathic studies I have a masters in acupuncture. I intertwine these two modalities to give the most comprehensive care to bring the body and mind back to balance. We work as a team to uncover your specific needs as we move towards reaching your health goals.

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.

Each individual is in a unique place and I work with each person toward their own specific wellness goals.
