Naturopaths near Monroe, WA

I am a Functional Medicine practitioner and I focus on getting to the underlying causes of illness for both adults and children. Causes are primarily nutritional deficiencies, genetic mutations like MTHFR, toxins in the body, chronic infections and food allergies. I use lab testing to pinpoint specific causes and then apply the most effective natural treatments. I consistently see dramatic results with fatigue, candida yeast, fibromyalgia, migraines, menstrual problems, menopause, adrenal exhaustion, toxicity, anxiety, depression, and much more. It takes just days to a few weeks to begin to see results and feeling better.

My passion is pregnancy, birth, pediatrics, and women's health. Helping families conceive who are having challenges is extremely rewarding. I also help guide those families planning for a baby who want to set a strong foundation for the health of their baby. The care I provide begins at preconception and goes through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and continues through all phases of life. I am a primary care provider in Washington state and a licensed midwife. I offer pediatric well-child visits, including vaccine counseling/administration and acute care and well-woman care, including annual gynecological and breast exams.

I am proud to be the first doctor in the immediate Seattle area to be certified in this amazing company.This complements my naturopathic approach allowing me to best address age management issues. Many patients are dealing with peri menopausal symptoms, or andropause as a man, and want to balance their hormones, optimizing, energy and sexual function.

My practice has two main focuses: 1). Helping people navigate their way out of chronic disease 2). Achieving or maintaining an optimal state of wellness. I have a special interest helping people with digestive problems, from undiagnosed digestive distress to Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Inflammatory Bowel disease. I also bring considerable experience in working with people with chronic fatigue, various autoimmune diseases, hormone imbalances, insomnia, anxiety and depression. I work with people to develop and support of an individualized healthy lifestyle.

I have enjoyed over 20 years of private practice in the Everett area. Trained at Bastyr University in the 1980's and focused on the traditional aspects of the Naturopathic profession. I still prefer to use herbs and nutrients in the original tincture and herba forms and also use all of the scientific encapsulations by the most respected companies. Although I focus on Thyroid disorders increasing in the region, I do see all ages and genders in a general family practice setting. Over the years I have developed good workiing relations with this areas specialists so no aspect of your health will be ignored.

I am a licensed naturopathic physician that practices integrative primary care. My special interests encompass cardiovascular disease, endocrine conditions (diabetes, PCOS, thyroid disorders), gastrointestinal conditions (GERD, SIBO/IFO, IBS, IBD), mental health (anxiety, depression), and women’s health. I love combining the standards of care with evidence-based diet, nutrition, exercise, botanical medicine, and mind-body techniques to treat a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions.

I guide those seeking optimal health and holistic approaches to health concerns through patient centered care, treating the whole person and not just a set a symptoms. With empathy, uncondintional positive regard, innovative personalized treatment plans and cutting edge Naturopathic methods, I partner with you to look and feel your best.

Each patient is an individual and as such, requires treatments that are customized for them. Especially in chronic disease, which is where naturopathic medicine and acupuncture help greatly, taking one magic pill or supplement will not resolve symptoms. Success depends greatly on recognizing what dietary changes, behavioral therapies, and lifestyle modifications the patient is willing to try in order to achieve overall health. I work collaboratively with people to not only identify what is causing their symptoms, but more importantly, identify what roadblocks are preventing them from achieving wellness and explore what treatments they want to try.

I am a naturopathic physician specializing in digestive health, women's health and integrative oncology. I also treat chronic illnesses such as chronic fatigue, and autoimmune disorders. I have a wide breadth and depth of experience and love caring for people with all sorts of problems, from chronic illness to performing annual physicals and other primary care functions. I strive to listen carefully to each patient, spending quality time investigating the cause of illness in order to truly facilitate healing. My ultimate goal is to create space not only for healing but also for you to find your optimal level of health.
