About Me
I was drawn to naturopathic medicine after working with patients and their caregivers who were stuck in the conventional medical system and not getting better. I saw first-hand how much effort it took the patients and caretakers to keep up with the prescribed therapies without losing time with other family members or to keep up with their own emotional health. So many of the patients were frustrated because their therapies kept symptoms from getting worse but didn’t make them feel better. Working with them and hearing their stories every day was my motivation to seek out an alternative model of medicine that focused on restoring health and treating the cause of illness with safe and natural therapeutics.
My Story
One of the core principles of Naturopathy is recognizing that the body has an innate wisdom for healing, and it communicates its needs through the symptoms that are expressed during illness. My role as a Naturopathic physician is to recognize these calls for help from the body and assist with the healing process instead of limiting this ability with suppressive treatments. While suppressing symptoms can help us feel better in the short term it can also lead to lingering or worse health issues in the future.
Following this principle, I primarily use detoxification therapies that target the primary organ systems and help the body restore their functionality so they can participate in healing the body as a whole. I work with patients to address their symptoms by working backwards to find the cause instead of finding a new treatment to suppress their symptoms. Using natural therapeutics, we will develop an individualized treatment plan that is safe, gentle and effective, but most importantly will address your health concerns. I’m looking forward to working with you on your health journey.
Aside from seeing patients, I spend my personal time outdoors and with family. I’m an avid disc golfer and play in competitive leagues every week. I play lots of board games with my two step-sons and we’re always growing our collection of games. As a family we enjoy backpacking, camping and paddle-boarding whenever possible but we also have the occasional movie night, sitting on the couch and enjoying each other’s company.
