As a Naturopathic Doctor, my goals are to identify & address the root cause(s) of the health condition(s), use safe & effect natural therapies, and promote disease prevention through education. There is a time and place for all types of medicine...It's important to have options when it comes to healthcare decisions.

As a California-licensed primary care naturopathic doctor, my primary goal is to partner with you to prevent illness, but if a "dis-ease" is present, to utilize the most natural, non-toxic, and least invasive therapies first. Another critical priority is finding the underlying cause(s) of illness, not merely treating symptoms, therefore, I use hundreds of diagnostic and functional medical labs to help diagnose. My special areas of expertise are: balancing body; diabetes/cardiometabolic; mood (depression, anxiety); hormonal balance (i.e. thyroid, adrenal, bio-identical hormones); healthy aging; weight/fat loss; exercise/nutrition/managing stress; fatigue, optimal health.

I was born and raised in Auburn, California and am a 1996 graduate of Bastyr University, the leading naturopathic medical school in North America. Growing up with my dad as a local doctor inspired me to pursue medicine myself. Personal illness with questions left unanswered by western medicine led me in the direction of naturopathic medicine. I am passionate about helping people find their optimal health. I fill up my free time with my husband and 2 beautiful daughters. Together we enjoy rock-climbing, horse back riding, surfing, gardening and just being together.

Natural Hormone Replacement Naturopaths
What is natural hormone replacement therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) refers to the use of supplements to support the body’s natural hormone levels. It is most commonly used to treat menopausal symptoms in older women—such as hot flashes and sleep disturbances—that arise from the decline in the ovarian hormone estrogen during menopause. Estrogen replacement, typically delivered via oral medication or transdermal patches, can help alleviate these symptoms by stabilizing hormone levels. In natural HRT, “bioidentical” hormones are used, which mimic naturally occurring hormones due to their similar chemical structure, although they are typically plant-derived. Given the less regulated nature of many naturopathic supplements, including those used in natural HRT, clients should consult a qualified physician to ensure that any hormone replacement intervention is both safe and effective.
