I look beyond the labels often associated with long term illness to identify the physiological factors that allowed illness to manifest. I work cooperatively with my patients and colleagues to create custom treatment plans that largely focus on specialized treatment modalities including neural therapy techniques, intravenous therapies, botanical medicine and functional nutrition. I emphasize education to empower my patients to make informed decisions about their health.

I work with patients to determine underlying factors that may be involved with the creation of their particular disease, or inhibition of their general wellness. My practice has a strong focus on the treatment of complex chronic disease, as well as optimizing health in those whose goal is increased vitality and the prevention of future illness. I also enjoy working with those who are planning to become pregnant to optimize fertility and create wellness for both parents and their children.

I have a growing practice of all ages. I enjoy working with people to unravel the symptoms they are experiencing. I've found that often the symptoms we are experiencing aren't always directly related to the area in the body with the dysfunction. Sometimes we have to treat several different parts of the body in order to treat our symptoms in other areas. The modalities I use not only work to treat the cause of the problem, but they also help the body to heal itself, which are two of the foundational principles of naturopathic medicine.
