Naturopathic medicine aims to address the underlying cause(s) of disease and support the body in order to restore health and function. I view my role as a physician as more of an educator and counselor. I explain how the body functions under normal circumstances, the ways in which it is affected by disease, and how to restore balance. In my practice I am constantly asking, "Why?" I am not only interested in knowing WHAT is going on with my patients (i.e. achieving a correct diagnosis) but also WHY their symptoms are present in the first place.

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.

I have spent my entire adult life investigating natural health and what the meaning of natural medicine really is. I hope you will go to my website at www.optionsnaturopathic.com and read further about my background and what this entails at our offices. I work to help individuals understand their specific health problems from the root. We look at familial tendencies and what we call "transgenerational" influences that impact a person's various symptomatology. So much can be done to help a person find the balance, or homeostasis, that will help them reduce or eliminate their problematic symptoms.

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.
