People see me most for perimenopause/menopause ( bioidentical hormone therapy), thyroid, autoimmune conditions, gut health concerns, and for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (for PTSD/depression/anxiety).
I can help you achieve your health goals with integrative medicine. I use functional testing (like gut health/adrenal/comprehensive hormone panels) along with conventional laboratory testing for assessment, combined with naturopathic treatments (herbs/vitamins/nutrition/lifestyle). I do prescribe medications at times, too, but it's most often bioidentical hormones, thyroid medication, and ketamine for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy work.

An essential principal of Naturopathic medicine is the "healing power of nature"(Vis Medicatrix Naturae). This concept forms the foundation of my belief and approach to medicine. While I treat a wide variety of chronic degenerative diseases, cancer is a passion and important focus of my practice. As such I was a professor of Oncology at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, where I instructed 4th year Naturopathic medical students. I also served on the board of directors for the "Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians" (OncANP). I was a past Vice President and chair of research for this specialty organization.

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Naturopaths
What is bioidentical hormone therapy?
Bioidentical hormone therapy refers to a specific type of hormone therapy used to supplement the body’s natural hormone levels. It is most commonly employed to treat menopausal symptoms in older women—such as hot flashes and sleep disturbances—that arise from a decline in the ovarian hormone estrogen during menopause. The replacement of estrogen in these cases is typically achieved through oral medications or transdermal patches, which can help alleviate symptoms by regulating the body’s hormonal levels. In bioidentical hormone therapy, the goal is similar: to regulate hormones effectively. However, this approach utilizes “bioidentical” substances that mimic naturally occurring hormones due to their similar chemical structures and are usually derived from plants. Examples of bioidentical hormones include estradiol and micronized progesterone. Unfortunately, while many believe that bioidentical hormones are more effective due to their “natural” origins, there is limited evidence to suggest they are safer than traditional hormone therapy. In fact, due to the less regulated nature of many naturopathic supplements—including those used in bioidentical hormone therapy—clients should always consult with a qualified physician to ensure that their chosen hormone replacement therapy is both effective and safe.
