My goal is to help each patient uncover their obstacles to achieving long term health and wellness.  I strive to understand patients on many levels since physical manifestations are often correlated with emotional or environmental influences. I want to assist you with your immediate concerns, but also would like to help you plan for your long term fitness.

Background:

 

As a Physician specializing in Naturopathic Medicine I focus on strengthening the body's inherent capacity to heal.  In the tradition of the wise adage “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”, I emphasize the building blocks of health including a nutrient rich diet and consistent exercise.  “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” according to Hippocrates.

 

Prevention is one of the naturopathic principles that I stress as have seen the rewards when one provides a clean and stable environment for the body and mind.  

 

I work with a variety of patients and specialize in assisting patients with hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, body weight challenges, allergies, stress, sleep, hormonal, and digestion issues.  I will work with you to help you set and accomplish your goals. Not only do I want to assist you with your immediate concerns; I would like to help you plan and obtain long term fitness.

 

I work on my long term fitness by enjoying the beauty and lushness of the Pacific Northwest when hiking, running, and traveling.  

 

I am currently accepting new patients.  I can either complement your current team of medical providers or can serve as your primary care physician.  

 

Please call our office at 425-258-4633 to schedule your appointment.

Resources:

 

In Washington state we have access to fresh apples, asparagus, pears, cherries, grapes, raspberries, mint, and greens in season.  We also have more than a hundred local farmer's markets, Community Supported Agriculture circles, and food co-ops such as Sno-Isle Natural Foods Co-op downstairs.  Let's figure out a way to use these resources so we can create a solid foundation that allows us to respond to life's stressors.
