Making healthcare personal. Because it is.

I offer care that’s grounded in curiosity, connection, and a whole-person perspective. Together, we explore the patterns behind your symptoms, and use evidence based and natural therapies to create a plan that’s clear, personalized, and sustainable.

Areas of Focus

New to naturopathic medicine?

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) are medically trained professionals who blend modern science with natural therapies to treat the whole person. We focus on identifying the root causes of illness, rather than just suppressing symptoms, and use individualized, evidence-based tools to support long-term healing.

What sets naturopathic medicine apart?

  • Longer visits that give you time to be heard and understood

  • Root-cause thinking that looks at how systems in the body are connected

  • Personalized care plans that fit your lifestyle and goals

  • Therapies that support healing, not just symptom relief

Yes, we’re real doctors.

Licensed naturopathic doctors complete a rigorous four-year, doctoral-level medical program at an accredited naturopathic medical school. Our training includes biomedical sciences (like anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pharmacology), clinical diagnostics, and evidence-based integrative therapies including nutrition, botanical medicine, physical medicine, and lifestyle counseling.

After graduation, many of us complete residencies and advanced training in specific areas of focus—just like I did. We are licensed or regulated in many states, including California, where I maintain active licensure and ongoing continuing education.

Still have questions?

That’s great! I’m happy to explain what to expect, and help you decide if this approach is right for you. My goal is always to partner with you in a way that feels respectful, transparent, and empowering.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • For individuals who are located in California I can provide full naturopathic medical care under the California naturopathic doctor scope which includes all of the treatment modalities listed below, including prescription medications as necessary. For individuals in other states listed below, where there is no regulation regarding naturopathic medicine, I cannot provide any medical advice, diagnosis or treatment of disease (meaning also no prescription medications), but I can provide wellness recommendations including nutrition, supplements, botanicals, lifestyle approaches and mind-body approaches.

  • Recommendations vary, but may include personalized nutrition, targeted supplements, botanical medicine, lifestyle therapy, mind-body approaches, and when appropriate, and only for California patients, prescription medications. Everything is tailored to your body, your goals, and your capacity.

  • In California, I can independently prescribe bioidentical hormone replacement including thyroid medication as well as other select pharmaceutical medications under the supervision of a California licensed MD. In other states where naturopathic medicine is not regulated, I do not prescribe medications and practice in a wellness consulting capacity.

  • There’s overlap—both focus on root-cause healing and personalized care. However, naturopathic medicine is a distinct licensed medical profession with its own philosophy, education, and therapeutic tools. NDs are trained as primary care providers and also receive in-depth education in natural therapies that many functional medicine practitioners are not formally trained to use.

  • At this time, I do not accept insurance. Naturopathic medicine is often not covered by health insurance, particularly in states where it is not yet licensed or regulated. I operate as a direct-pay practice, which allows me to provide more personalized, unhurried care without the limitations of insurance networks.

  • Yes—and in fact, I require clients living in unregulated states to maintain a relationship with a licensed primary care provider (PCP). My work is designed to complement your existing care and support a more comprehensive, whole-person approach to your health.

  • Yes. I can assist with ordering conventional labs and often go further by offering specialty testing for hormones, gut health, nutritional status, inflammation, toxins, and more. If you already have recent labs, I’m happy to review and incorporate them into our work together.
