I'm a San Francisco Naturopathic Doctor with an expertise in women's health, bioidentical hormone therapy, adrenal and thyroid support, weight loss & digestion. I have great success treating clients with PMS, menopause complaints, hypothyroidism, infertility, adrenal fatigue, digestive concerns such as food sensitivities and difficulty losing weight. I strive to offer the best integrative medical care while keeping in harmony with naturopathic philosophy.

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!
