naturopathic medicine

designed around you

If you're looking for a different kind of healthcare, one that takes the time to understand you, looks beyond symptoms, and focuses on lasting health, you're in the right place.

My approach is rooted in the guiding principles of naturopathic medicine. More than a philosophy, they guide every decision I make as your doctor—from how we search for answers to how we choose treatments. Most importantly, they shape your experience as a patient.

Here's what that looks like in practice and what you can expect from your care…

1.

Your Body Is Designed to Heal

Your body has an incredible ability to heal and restore balance when it's given the right support. My role is to identify what's standing in the way—whether that's nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalances, inflammation, poor sleep, chronic stress, or other obstacles—and help remove those barriers so your body can do what it was designed to do.

2.

Understanding Your Health Changes Everything

The more you understand what's happening in your body, the more confident you'll feel making decisions about your health. Rather than simply telling you what to do, I want you to understand why we're recommending a treatment and how it supports your long-term wellbeing.

3.

Build Health, Not Just Treat Disease

The best healthcare isn't reacting to disease—it's helping you stay healthy in the first place. Together we'll focus on the daily habits, nutrition, sleep, movement, and stress management that have the greatest impact on your long-term health.

4.

Find the Why Behind Your Symptoms

Your symptoms are clues. While relieving symptoms is important, lasting health comes from understanding what's causing them in the first place. Together, we'll look beyond symptoms to uncover the root causes of your health concerns and create a personalized plan that supports meaningful, lasting improvements in your health.

5.

You're More Than a Diagnosis

You are more than a diagnosis. Your physical health, emotional wellbeing, relationships, work, sleep, nutrition, and life experiences all influence how you feel. Great healthcare treats the whole person—not just the symptoms.

6.

The Right Treatment at the Right Time

Your treatment plan should be both effective and thoughtful. Whenever appropriate, I begin with the safest, least invasive therapies that have the greatest potential to help, building from there only as needed.

Why choose a licensed naturopathic doctor?

Licensed naturopathic doctors complete a rigorous four-year, graduate-level medical education after earning a bachelor's degree and completing the same foundational pre-med science prerequisites required for other medical professions. Our training includes anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, physical diagnosis, laboratory medicine, and clinical diagnosis, along with thousands of hours of supervised clinical training.
In addition to the biomedical sciences, naturopathic physicians receive extensive education in evidence-informed natural medicine, including clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, lifestyle medicine, counseling, physical medicine, and other therapeutic approaches that support the body's innate ability to heal. After graduation, licensed naturopathic doctors must pass comprehensive national board examinations, and many pursue additional residency training.
When you choose a licensed naturopathic doctor, you're choosing a healthcare provider trained to integrate modern medical science with evidence-informed natural therapies—bringing together the best of both to help you achieve lasting health.
As an Associate Professor at NUNM, I'm very proud to help educate the next generation of naturopathic doctors using these same rigorous standards.
