I received my doctorate in naturopathic medicine from The Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in 2011. Studying at BINM provided me with the opportunity to be exposed to a variety of specialty treatments, including the use of ozone, prolotherapy and IV therapies. In addition, I had the privilege of receiving formal medical training in oncology by Dr. Neil McKinney, one of the leading naturopathic doctors in naturopathic oncology. In 2012, I joined Synergy Natural Medicine Clinic in Monrovia, CA, to become a specialist in naturopathic oncology. In March, 2016, I redesigned a small clinic and we have been growing ever since!

Since 2007, I have specialized in Neuro-Endocrinology - which is essentially addressing the way the brain is communicating out to the endocrine (hormone) glands. This involves balancing brain neurotransmitters for changes in mood (depression, anxiety, irritability), sleep, pain, cravings and digestion as well as any changes in thyroid, adrenal, blood sugar and female/male hormonal status. If you feel like you are stuck in survival mode, wired and tired, your sleep has suffered and your hormones feel off-balanced -you are a great fit for my practice!

I blend years of experience with up to date research reviews to provide you with cutting edge care. I advocate safe, natural and effective care for both the pediatric and adult population. I graduated from Bastyr University, completed a residency at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health, and have been in a busy private practice for the last 23 years. My clinical focus is on removing causative factors for disease when possible to restore physiological balance.

Are you tired of feeling constantly unwell, with no doctor taking the time to truly understand your needs and provide the care you deserve? Look no further. As a Naturopathic doctor and Acupuncturist, I am committed to working alongside you to achieve the well-being and quality of life you desire. Utilizing natural therapies, I focus on supporting your body's innate healing abilities, reducing reliance on pharmaceuticals. Whether you're grappling with autoimmune diseases, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, or skin disorders, I tailor treatment plans to address your unique needs.

My ideal client is interested in changing their health. They want to find answers for their symptoms. They may be struggling with balancing hormones, optimizing gut function, lowering cholesterol or blood sugar, managing stress, or, just feeling good overall. They need guidance on how to live a life that supports their healing and wellness.

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.

At this point in my practice, most of my focus is spent on working with patients with chronic illnesses, like cancer. I also work with patients with digestive issues, men's health issues and other health conditions. I utilize an integrated approach, including behavior modification, counseling, botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, vitamin, mineral and enzyme optimization and intravenous (I.V.) therapy. Although I see many patients for fine tuning and health optimization, I also accept the challenge of working with people with very difficult medical issues, especially folks with issues that conventional medicine has very little to offer.

I help patients get to the root of their health concerns with both a scientifically grounded and authentically holistic approach. My goal is to address the underlying causes of illness, going beyond symptom management. My patients appreciate that I take the time to listen and to get to know them. This way I learn about the many factors influencing their health and provide recommendations in alignment with each person's unique story. While I see a diversity of patients, I most commonly help people with digestive issues, hormonal changes, mood and neurotransmitter imbalances, and immune problems, including autoimmunity.

My goal is to Educate. Enhance. Empower you on the journey of health. Natural medicine's cornerstone is to identify and treat the cause, naturally. You and I work together, in collaboration to create a care plan, which may include: diet/lifestyle, targeted supplements, homeopathic medicine, or if needed, hormone replacment-thyroid or others.
