About Me
Being a doctor is much more than my job. I truly enjoy partnering with my patients on their unique health journeys. The treatment I offer is integrative – meaning we can utilize a range of options from pharmaceuticals to herbal medicine to acupuncture. This approach will help you to take part in your health care in an empowered way. We will use the tools that work best for your body and life circumstances.
My Approach
In my practice, I listen deeply without judgment. I collaborate with my patients, discussing what changes feel within their reach, explore where they can be stretched, and at all times, respect limits. I will be an ally in your health and growth as a person. Above all, I will support you wherever you are on your healing path.
My Process
I will partner with you in how to treat your symptoms. More importantly, we’ll work together to discover why they are occurring in the first place. This is why your story is so important to me. No two people are completely alike. So we have to unravel your health history and dig into what is unique about you. This is an important way that my aproach differs from the kind of medical care that most people are accustomed to. If you want to engage in your healing journey and have support along the way, I am the right doctor for you.
My Training
I earned my doctorate in naturopathic medicine and masters of science in Oriental medicine at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon. My additional training includes a 2 month clinical rotation in India, a 2 year certificate in classical homeopathy, a 6 month certificate in the treatment of fertility according to classical chinese medicine, a 6 month internship in biotherapeutic drainage, a 1 year internship in 5 Element acupuncture, and a 1 year naturopathic internship in women’s health.
