My focus is on treating the whole person which may include allowing time to understand their history, current stressors, and environmental exposures. I have extensive training in trauma-informed care and strive for cultural sensitivity. In addition to ongoing continuing medical education, I consider my patients my teachers. I seek to create a relationship for optimizing health with each visit. I have enjoyed practicing as a licensed Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine and a primary care provider for over 27 years. My current practice is via telehealth only. Specialties and experience include:  hormone balancing for men and women, autoimmune conditions, headaches, mental health, insomnia, mold related illness, gastrointestinal issues, and LGBTQIA+ health. A patient working with me can expect personalized medicine using intensive intake, hospital based labs, functional medicine and specialty testing to get to the core of their symptoms.

I founded an integrative medical clinic in Federal Way, Washington 28 years ago and have since moved on to a simpler cash-based practice to better focus on the art of medicine and healing. My personal life includes maximizing time outdoors, regular meditation and yoga. My super power is sleeping.
