MY PRACTICE

I strive to treat the whole person in accordance with Naturopathic Philosophy. The following health restoration areas are the emphasis of my practice. Each treatment plan includes individualized diet and lifestyle modifications, specialized laboratory testing, and uniquely designed supplementation.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL BALANCING
Depression, Anxiety, Insomnia, ADD/ADHD, Cravings, Addictions, and Autism are just a few conditions associated with abnormal brain chemistry. 
✓Do you want to improve your life without prescription medications and be able to do the things you’ve always wanted to do?
The advances of modern science now allow us to assess brain chemistry through a simple urine test.  Supplementing with missing pieces of the puzzle makes it possible to re-balance brain chemistry; therefore, liberating you and your mind to do everything you’ve set out to do.  In addition to the supplementation program, we recommend working with a coach to determine perceived beliefs that hold you back, remove barriers that get in the way, and learn how to utilize your strengths to move forward.

✴    I allow ample time for listening to get a full picture of your health status
✴    I address any condition by looking at the person as a whole
✴    My goal is to figure out how all symptoms fit together and to find the key to the puzzle
✴    I follow the credo of meeting the individual where they are on their health journey.
✴    I do my best to educate patients about their bodies and possible influences on their health, so that they are able to actively participate in restoring themselves to optimal health.
✴    I address mind, body and spirit
✴    I use food as medicine, herbs, supplements, homeopathy, natural hormones, and a variety of other techniques to nourish and restore you to optimal health.  The use of natural substances allows me to treat you without harmful side-effects or prescription drugs and surgeries
✴    When I address hormonal imbalances, I evaluate the endocrine system as a whole, making sure that balance is addressed from all angles. 
✴    I evaluate to make sure we consider all possible obstacles to a cure.
✴    I have many tools in my toolbox. I use simpler tools at first to see if a basic adjustment will create balance in the body.  And from there, we move up the ladder of therapeutic tools and testing as necessary to reach optimal health.
✴    I attend numerous conferences on natural and alternative medicine throughout the year. I read a variety of medical journals, and I do my best to integrate new advances.
