HOMEPAGE 1

My Services

 I use the best of conventional and naturopathic approaches to deliver preventative care and promote long term health.

HOMEPAGE 2

Naturopathic Primary Care

As a primary care doctor, I offer everything you would expect in terms of addressing specific health concerns, tending to screening exams, labs and imaging, and prescribing medications. I amplify these tools of primary care practice with naturopathic therapies to treat the root cause of your symptoms and promote quality long term health.

HOMEPAGE 3

Integrative Women’s Healthcare & Gynecology

Because you are so much more than your symptoms, I take a holistic aproach to your health and wellbeing.  Integrating the best of conventional and naturopathic women’s healthcare, allows me to address your concerns in a highly personalized way. I provide a full complement of care to meet your specific needs. I treat a wide variety of women’s health concerns including difficult periods (painful, irregular, absent, prolonged), pre-conception support, hormonal balance, problems with fertility, perimenopause and menopause, chronic vaginitis, cervical dysplasia and HPV, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, vulvodynia, and contraceptive options. Pap smears and annual well woman exams are also available.

HOMEPAGE 4

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Bioidentical hormones are an option for women who want a more natural approach to hormonal symptoms compared to conventional pharmaceutical interventions. Most often I utilize BHT with patients who are struggling with symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, including hot flashes and night sweats, vaginal dryness, brain fog, insomnia, and mood instability. BHT may also be used in the treatment of PCOS, and to restore libido, improve the appearance of the skin, increase energy, reduce hormonal headaches, and as a preventative approach for osteoporosis.

HOMEPAGE 5

Holistic Pelvic Care

Holistic Pelvic Care™ is an embodied and experiential approach to pelvic healing. My teacher, Tami Kent, MSPT developed tools to honor and treat the experiences that women have in their pelvic bowls: pelvic pain, low libido, urinary incontinence, sexual trauma. Together, we map the areas of tension and energetic qualities of your pelvic floor muscles, and then use tactile pressure to help you release pain patterns and engage with your center.

HOMEPAGE 6

Digestive Health

Gastrointestinal health is a core aspect of our general health, because it interacts with hormones, immunity and neurological function is complex ways. Poor GI health contributes to chronic inflammation, autoimmunity and allergies. Commonly treated conditions include Celiac disease, chronic constipation and/or diarrhea, bloating, reflux, IBS and SIBO. Naturopathic medicine looks to support a healthy GI system by addressing dysbiosis, stomach acid, diet and lifestyle, and potential food intolerances. Advanced lab testing may be utilized to work up conditions.

HOMEPAGE 7

Acupuncture

I use acupuncture and cupping massage as a compliment to my other offerings.  Many of my patients enjoy the deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience that these treatments offer. Our busy and stressful lives can leave our nervous systems in a chronic state of high alert. I find acupuncture and cupping massage to be profoundly effective tools for restoring a sense of balance and ease.
