Life-long pharmaceuticals are not your only option.
My Unique Approach
As a Naturopathic Doctor, I’m medically trained in both pharmaceuticals and natural modalities. I believe in treating root causes and prevention. I want to redefine the quality of mental health care and create what I wish existed when healing my own health.
Address your root causes (rather than only masking symptoms)
Your symptoms are manifesting for a reason.
I want to help you discover why.
Your body systems are connected.
Imbalances of one body system can create mental health symptoms.
Mental health influencers:
- Adrenals
- Allergies
- Cardiovascular
- Chronic Pain
- Digestion
- Genetics
- Hormones
- Immune
- Infection
- Inflammation
- Lifestyle
- Neuro-Endocrine
- Neurotransmitters
- Nutrition
- Pharmaceuticals
- Respiratory
- Stress
- Thyroid
- Toxins
- Trauma
In-depth health evaluation
I’ll puzzle together your:
- Symptoms
- Medical History
- Contributing Body Systems
- Lab Results
- Lifestyle
- Diet
This thorough investigation deserves attention and takes time.
When was the last time your doctor spent more than 20 minutes learning about you?
Functional labs tailored to find your root cause
- 2 people with the same diagnosis can have very different underlying causes.
- After contextualizing your struggles, I’ll select labs to help discover your contributing factors.
Aim of sustainable benefits
- Pharmaceuticals can be essential for debilitating health conditions.
- But suppressive drugs don’t rectify your underlying cause (and thus shouldn’t be your only treatment long-term).
- Also, some drugs’ unwanted side effects and risk of dependency don’t make them ideal for sustainable options.
Customized treatment plans (specifically for you)
NDs are extensively trained in integrative medicine where they learn evidence-based treatments across many modalities.
Think of it like a toolbox where pharmaceuticals are just one option. Our job is to match your specific needs to the most appropriate tool in our toolbox.
You have unique priorities, abilities, genetics, biology, and psychology. I aim to create treatment plans that are practical for your lifestyle, sustainable, and ultimately align with your goals.
Treatments that evolve with your health journey
- You have different needs at different stages of your journey towards optimal health.
- 1-size-fits-all pill just doesn't make sense (for everyone with the same diagnosis or for every unique stage within someone’s evolution).
Options
- I'll distill the overwhelming medical world to present pertinent options.
- I'll explain the benefits and risks of each option (so you can make the best decisions for yourself).
Your goals are my top priority
- I want to address what matters most to you.
- I strive to empower you with tools to take charge of your mental health.
Respect
- Everything you feel (or don't) is real and valid.
- You know your body and mind best. I’ll hear and honor those experiences.
- This is a place to explore your health without stigma or judgment.
Physician-grade supplements (if needed)
- I'll use my medical knowledge to select quality supplements you can trust.
Advocate
- I'll be your collaborative partner and resource to support your health journey.
Collaboration
- I'm happy to collaborate with your other medical and health providers to deliver the best care possible.
