As a Naturopathic and Chinese medicine physician, I focus on treating the underlying cause of disease often resulting in "miraculous" cures to even the most complicated health disorders. Using the holistic healing principles of both Nature Cure (Naturopathic) and the ancient system of Chinese medicine I individualize treatments to meet your needs and not the disease. This is where the magic happens. Within my holistic practice, I specialize in the treatment of thyroid disorders.

I primarily treat chronic pain and musculoskeletal injuries. My belief is that these are often multi-faceted. Injuries can ultimately be a result of structural or movement imbalances that go beyond a simple slip and fall. Pain itself can have multiple causes; there are different "types" of pain. As such, patients often need a diverse approach and my goal is to help guide this process.

I love helping my clients achieve their ideal weight and manage any chronic health conditions.

If going in one direction doesn't work for you, we will regroup and try something else until we find a way to help you live your best possible life while still enjoying what you eat. I also offer meal planning services, complete with grocery lists and recipes!

Everyone can achieve a greater degree of health, be it physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, and being a licensed Naturopath AND acupuncturist, I can provide many treatment options.

Patients need to feel better so I first reduce current symptoms to improve immediate health, and then work with patients in a caring and respectful relationship to discover and treat the underlying cause, meet each patient's health goals, and prevent future disease.

My goal is to truly understand a person's health goals whether physical, mental, emotional, spiritual - or a combination thereof.

I strive to understand the whole-person imbalances that may be contributing to the development of symptoms.
