I am a licensed and board certified Naturopathic Physician and grad uate of Bastyr University. While I am a primary care physician, my focuses include women's health, LGBQ health, and gastrointestinal issues. I am dedicated to helping each patient discover his or her path to optimal health using herbal medicine, homeopathy, craniosacral therapy, nutrition and lifestyle counseling, as well as conventional medicine when necessary.
I see medicine as an art and utilize a unique approach for each individual to encourage movement towards one's greatest self within. I enjoy using beautifully contrasting concepts and tools simultaneously in my practice to create healing across a broad spectrum. This can manifest in a "mind, body, spirit" approach or in such cases where I encourage spiritual growth alongside more tangible medicine. I look to uncover the cause of illness and uncover what is really going on for the patient. While we work to learn the underlying issues of your complaints, I promise to listen with a gentle ear and a warm spirit.
My desire to become a naturopath came from my passion to serve others and my passion for medical anthropology. I enjoy exploring the perception of illness and the role of medicine in past cultures and incorporating useful aspects of these beliefs and practices into today's culture. I also appreciate the body's innate ability to heal itself and the intelligence involved in our adaptive abilities.
Outside of Zen Medicine, I spend my time playing soccer, taking photos, surfing, and traveling to Nicaragua with a volunteer medical group from New Olreans, my hometown.
