Why I Became a Naturopathic Doctor:
After years of struggling with my health as a kid, I was fortunate enough to connect with a naturopathic doctor. Working with a naturopathic doctor was a deeply inspiring experience for me. I was finally getting answers, addressing root causes of health problems, and getting better! I felt called to become an ND to be able to give back the gifts that I received. I love that naturopathic medicine focuses on root causes of illness, comprehensive and individualized care, and teaching patients about their bodies so they can ultimately take charge of their lives and healing.
What Conditions I Love to Treat:
- I’m passionate about treating so many conditions and it’s hard to narrow it down!
- I love working with mental health, women’s health and hormones, autoimmunity, and gut health.
- I find that naturopathic medicine has so much to offer for all of these, making it very rewarding
