Over 400 years ago, alchemist and physician Paracelsus said, “All substances are poisons; there is none that is not a poison. The right dose differentiates a poison from a remedy.” Similarly, the sutras of Ayurveda state, “Everything can be medicine; everything can be poison.” This, in essence, is my treatment philosophy. To me, integrative medicine represents the potent alchemy between rigorous, pioneering scientific research and the quiet, ageless wisdom of traditional medical systems. This admixture provides modern medicine with the most effective therapies available. I work collaboratively with medical providers of all disciplines in solidarity and service to the patient in front of me.

As a naturopathic and Ayurvedic physician, I utilize the power of nature to facilitate intrinsic healing processes, addressing the root causes of imbalance in the body-mind-spirit. By diving deep, we expose the underlying roots of distress in order to uproot and fully eradicate (or integrate) them. Through the lens of psychoneuroimmunology and psychoneuroendocrinology, I take a top-down approach, focusing on the nervous system as the conduit, the master regulator of all other regulatory systems within the body. This is transformative medicine.

Health is our greatest asset, and often the most elusive. As a teacher, I collaborate with every one of my patients, always facilitating greater awareness and understanding. The Path to Self-discovery (and recovery) can be lonely; I’m here so you don’t have to go it alone. I am simply a guide, a friend, a signpost along the Path of your own healing journey… your journey home. When we discover how to follow our own inner compass, healing becomes limitless. Freedom — liberation from suffering — is the ultimate goal, and we can go so much farther when we walk together.
