Naturopath Portland

My mission is to listen to your story, teach you how that story relates to your health, and guide you on a path of restoration.

To do so, I follow the core principles of naturopathic medicine:

First, do no harm
Respect the healing power of nature
Identify and treat the cause, not just the symptoms
Consider the doctor as teacher
Treat the whole person
Emphasize prevention

I apply these principles to each patient using a comprehensive step-by-step treatment process, which keeps both of us on track and produces successful results.

I treat a variety of symptoms, with a particular focus on hormone care. As we age, our bodies can become imbalanced, resulting in insomnia, fatigue, weight gain, thyroid issues, and other indicators. Although many people wait for specific triggers such as perimenopause or depression to start hormone therapy, I encourage a more proactive approach. Learn more about my hormone therapy treatment.

Did you know that most thyroid disease is autoimmune? If you are on thyroid hormone or suspect that you have thyroid disease, it is critical that you are tested for Hashimoto's disease—a condition in which your immune system attacks your thyroid.

I has received extensive training from Dr. Datis Kharrazian—one of the country's leading experts in the diagnosis and treatment of Hashimoto's disease, the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States. The natural protocols that are used in this clinic can rapidly restore your immune system's delicate balance.
