Constitutional Hydrotherapy Naturopaths near Lake Oswego, OR

Part of the joy I receive from being a physician is meeting people where they are in their health-care journey. Working with you as an individual with a unique history, getting to know your story and what your goals are for yourself is incredibly important. This is treating the whole person. You are not your symptoms or your diagnosis. I view our work together as a partnership: whether you need a cheerleader, someone to hold you accountable or hold space for you to process, I trust the inherent wisdom of your body and your lived experience.

Want to feel a zest for life again -- with high energy, quality sleep, trouble-free digestion, steady libido and grounded emotions? Dealing with chronic or reoccurring health issues that you would like to have resolved once and for all? Wanting to reduce reliance on pharmaceutical drugs -- safely and sanely? Looking for a doctor who doesn't make assumptions about your health or habits based on body size? As a naturopathic primary care physician I help adults overcome troubling health issues to find balance and zest in life again. I practice from a Health at Every Size® perspective that is weight neutral and body positive.

A patient who would be served by me is both curious and motivated about his/her body and return to best health. I enjoy sharing what I know and creating an atmosphere of respect with some levity. You do not need to fit into the medical description of a condition for me to be able to offer care and I spend a lot of time listening to your story to better understand you and your conditions. My tool bag is huge and full of possible options; we can find the treatment plan best suited for you as we work together.

As a Naturopathic Doctor, I focus on the person in front of me, listen to their health needs, and work with them by addressing their entire person. This simply means that I look at every factor that has affected this person throughout their entire life including childhood home life, infections and treatments, surgeries, other trauma, diet, social interactions, and lifestyle. By using these influences together with labwork I work with my clients to create a plan that works for them to support their current complaint by addressing the origin of their concerns. I have worked with all ages and backgrounds to support their health needs.
