Look, I've Been There...
I wasn’t always a doctor. For years, I was a stressed-out corporate manager. I felt like I had it under control. I thought that I ate healthy. I exercised regularly. Yet somehow I was 30 lbs underweight and had belly fat. I only slept 4 hours a night. I was pale with dark circles under my eyes. My allergies would put me on the couch all day. My sex drive was in the tank. And looking back, I was constantly irritable and moody. I was managing as best I could, but I wasn’t really living.
And that’s when it all changed. I met a naturopathic doctor who gave me back my quality of life and I knew that I wanted to do that for others.
Now, it’s an honor to help people every day. It’s a true passion. I’ve been in the patient’s seat and I have extraordinary empathy for how confusing, frustrating and scary it can be - especially for gut and hormone issues. I am committed to genuinely listening to my patients and their concerns, while guiding them with the core naturopathic principles:
FIRST DO NO HARM | FIND AND TREAT THE ROOT CAUSE | TREAT THE WHOLE PERSON | RESPECT THE HEALING POWER OF NATURE | TEACH | PREVENT DISEASE

Investing in Your Health
One of the main hurdles for many people to see a naturopathic doctor is the perceived cost. Most people use health insurance when they see a doctor but Naturopathic doctors generally don’t take it. (or rather, the insurance companies don’t take us).
Insurance used to protect families from costly accidents and hospitalizations. Now it is involved in every aspect of our healthcare decisions. And it gives the illusion of low cost; thus, what we often get is low value.
You see, doctors are supposed to get you well, but most just treat symptoms. For the doctors, that approach just keeps you coming back because that makes you a revenue stream. Meanwhile, your unused insurance dollars pay for all the other (usually sicker) people on your health plan. Most likely you use a fraction of your health insurance while still paying copays and pharmaceutical costs… or worse, you avoid getting better because you’re avoiding proper care.
Our practice is cash pay. We make no apology for that – it is the true cost of medical care and services – and that’s actually very freeing for both of us. I actually want you well. That’s why it’s an investment, not an expense. My ideal patient gets well, comes back for an annual wellness exam and tells me how great they’re doing. That’s it. That really is the objective. Personally, I’d rather treat all your friends when they come to me because you’re bragging about how great you feel rather than continue to treat you unnecessarily to rake in some extra cash.
Done correctly your costs can be significantly lower than with traditional health insurance and medical care. Plus there’s the whole “actually solving your health problems” thing so you don’t have to keep spending.
