Services
I am qualified to provide many services as a naturopathic doctor. I treat a wide variety of conditions using some or all of the tools mentioned below.
The first appointment is up to one hour long. At this visit I will ask you questions about your health. For in-person visits I may also perform a general physical exam. At the end of the visit, I will give you a treatment plan using the services mentioned below. I will also let you know how soon you should see results and how often follow up visits should be. Please note that in-person visits are temporarily not available.
Virtual appointments operate in the same way as in-person ones except they are conducted through a phone or video call.
Follow up appointments are up to 30-60 minutes long. During these visits, I check your response to the treatments. I may change the treatment plan if needed. The frequency of follow up visits will be different for everyone. As your conditions improve you will need to follow up less often unless you have a new health goal to work on.
List of Services
Clinical Nutrition
Changing the Way you Eat and/or Improving Your Nutrition With Supplements
Sometimes it’s hard to know how to eat to improve your health. It’s hard for most people to build a well-designed meal plan for a health issue. Changing the diet and adding certain nutrients can have amazing results for patients. I use nutrition to help my patients with issues like hormonal imbalances (e.g. PCOS, irregular and painful periods, thyroid issues), anxiety, depression, digestive issues (e.g. IBS, bloating), high blood pressure, migraines, acne, arthritis, weight management, and more.
Botanical Medicine
Recommending Medicinal Herbs
Understanding herbal medicine takes years of careful study. Over my years of study, I learned how useful herbal medicine can be. A lot of what we know about herbal medicine comes from scientific research. A lot also come from knowledge passed down through history. I have seen herbal medicine improve many conditions. These include skin conditions, women’s health conditions, bloating and other digestive issues, anxiety, depression, insomnia and pain.
Traditional Asian Medicine
Acupuncture and Facial Acupuncture
Naturopathic doctors are trained to perform acupuncture. Acupuncture is very useful for my patients. Many find it helpful for joint pain, back pain and migraines. However, it’s not just for pain. Acupuncture is also helpful for menstrual problems and fertility. I have seen it improve stress, insomnia, depression, anxiety and much more.
Facial acupuncture can be helpful for many skin conditions. It improves circulation to the face and stimulates a healing response in the skin.
Other
Testing and Other Naturopathic Treatments
In addition to the services mentioned above, I also work with my patients to help them with building healthy lifestyle habits and a healthy mindset.

Hormone testing: Fully thyroid panels, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone etc.
Testing for nutrient deficiencies: Iron deficiency testing, vitamin B12, vitamin D etc.

Testing for markers of inflammation.
And many more tests.
