Serves Area
As a Vermont licensed naturopathic doctor, I provide primary care services for patients, including annual adult and well woman exams, lab testing, and referrals. My approach to treatment is holistic, addressing the whole person and the underlying cause of presenting health concerns. Although I work with a variety of common diagnoses like hypertension and hypothyroidism, my niche is in chronic disease and mental health. I believe the body produces symptoms for a reason. I strive to identify the underlying causes of those symptoms and guide the body back into an environment where it can heal itself.

Environmental Medicine Naturopaths
What is environmental medicine?
Environmental medicine is a field of medicine that explores how environmental factors influence overall health. Researchers within the field of environmental medicine study how certain exposures, such as pollution or environmental contaminants, may lead to poor physical health outcomes. They may also investigate how climate change and its effects, such as natural disasters, influence population health, including the mental health impacts such disasters may bring about. Environmental medicine is a highly multidisciplinary field that is composed of experts from medicine, biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science, among other fields. A growing number of medical doctors, mental health professionals, and other groups are increasingly utilizing a firm understanding of environmental medicine in sessions in order to incorporate an understanding of how a changing climate may impact the overall health of clients and their communities.
