Approach

As a licensed Naturopathic doctor, my approach starts with taking a detailed history of your chief complaint along with delving into energy, sleep, stress, hormonal, digestive, mental and emotional health. After performing a focused physical exam, I suggest specialized lab testing, if necessary, which allows me to make important connections that reveal the root cause of the issue.

I’m a big proponent of patient education because it allow patients to understand what’s causing the problem and to take steps towards changing their lifestyle, adhere to treatment and prevent recurrence of the problem in the future, if its preventable.

Initial visits are one hour long, which allows me to provide a safe space for you to share your stories and feel heard. I understand your goals and develop an individualized treatment plan towards achieving them together. Treatment plans are developed based on evidence, keeping patient preferences in mind.

Follow up appointments can vary depending on your unique treatment plan. I love using a combination of botanical medicine, nutraceutical supplements, nutrition, lifestyle modifications, acupuncture, IV (Intravenous) therapy and prescription medications to address the root cause of the primary complaint and support overall health.
