Naturopathic doctors complete four years of post-graduate medical school, covering biomedical sciences, clinical diagnosis, and pharmacology—just like MDs. The key difference is that our training also includes nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle counseling, and mind-body therapies. We’re trained to see the whole picture and prioritize root-cause healing, not just symptom relief.

Naturopathic medicine is guided by six core principles:

1. First, do no harm

2. Treat the whole person

3. Identify and treat the root cause

4. Use the healing power of nature

5. Doctor as teacher

6. Prevention is the best medicine

Instead of chasing symptoms, we work to uncover the deeper imbalances—physical, emotional, or lifestyle-based—that may be contributing to what you’re experiencing. The result? A more holistic, sustainable path to healing.

No, I don’t bill insurance directly. This allows me to spend more time with each patient and personalize your care based only on your needs and the plan we come up with together.

Yes! Many patients choose to use their HSA or FSA funds for visits and supplements. Just let us know up front if you plan to use it so we can provide the right documentation.

Yes—I offer a free 15-minute call to connect and answer any questions before diving in.

Yes. Actually, all of my sessions are currently conducted via telemedicine, so we can meet from wherever you are.

I am trained to prescribe pharmaceuticals. Regulations differ state to state and I am happy to coordinate with your prescribing provider if needed.

Absolutely. I believe in a collaborative approach and am happy to coordinate care with your doctor, therapist, or any other practitioners you’re working with.

Every treatment plan is tailored to you. That might include herbal medicine, supplements, nutrition and lifestyle shifts, nervous system support, or lab testing. I’ll always explain your options and we’ll decide together what makes the most sense. I also schedule follow-ups to support your progress and adjust as needed.
