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.

Each patient is an individual and as such, requires treatments that are customized for them. Especially in chronic disease, which is where naturopathic medicine and acupuncture help greatly, taking one magic pill or supplement will not resolve symptoms. Success depends greatly on recognizing what dietary changes, behavioral therapies, and lifestyle modifications the patient is willing to try in order to achieve overall health. I work collaboratively with people to not only identify what is causing their symptoms, but more importantly, identify what roadblocks are preventing them from achieving wellness and explore what treatments they want to try.

My ideal patient is anyone who is looking to optimize their overall health, slow their aging and live up to their full potential. My goal as a practitioner is to treat each individual as a whole person, and not just a list of symptoms. As a society, medicine has broken up people into different parts and systems, all treated by doctors with different specialities. In practice, I truly work to see the whole picture and how all of these systems are interconnected producing an individual's current health concerns. I work with each patient to find the root cause of their illness and treat this cause.

I do best working with people who are willing to take a proactive approach to their healthcare. So much of what I do involves being a detective, trying to discover the underlying reason for health challenges and the root cause of illness. Most people want to get relief from their suffering —understandably so! While this is definitely a goal, I enjoy working with people who also want to optimize their health and to prevent illness in the future.

Functional Medicine Naturopaths

What is functional medicine?

Functional medicine is an alternative model of healthcare that generally emphasizes a person-centered, rather than disease-centered, approach to health. It integrates conventional Western medical practices with more alternative approaches to health, emphasizing individualized services that take into account each individual's unique lifestyle, genetics, and medical history. The functional medicine model particularly emphasizes managing chronic conditions, especially for patients who haven't responded well to conventional medical treatments.

Practitioners include licensed medical doctors (MDs), osteopathic physicians (DOs), naturopathic doctors (NDs), and registered dietitians (RDs), who treat various conditions including chronic diseases, autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, hormonal dysfunction, and metabolic syndromes. However, patients should be aware that not all practitioners who practice functional medicine have licensure, and some modalities practiced by functional medicine providers are not supported by rigorous scientific research. Nevertheless, finding a functional medicine practitioner can be transformative for many clients who seek a more integrated approach to medicine that includes lifestyle modifications, nutrition, and stress management.
