Welcome to my practice, and to naturopathic medicine in general. My mission is to help restore the health of the adult and pediatric community through the teaching of natural living, and the sensible use of natural medicines. I am a residency-trained Naturopathic Doctor licensed in California by the Bureau of Naturopathic Medicine. I specialize in the use of therapeutic diets, nutrition, herbal medicine, and homeopathy to treat acute and chronic conditions. My practice is guided by the principles of naturopathic medicine, namely to address the cause, treat the whole person, stimulate the body’s innate healing mechanisms, teach people about their illness and about optimizing wellness.

My training included five years of graduate level education in Naturopathic Medicine at Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. Prior to this I received a bachelors degree in Biology from UC Santa Cruz. I completed my residency in General Naturopathic Medicine at The Bastyr Center for Natural Health, the largest natural medicine clinic in western North America, and the training site for Naturopathic Doctors in Bastyr University’s program. For the past five years I have been at The Seven Arrows, an integrated natural medicine clinic in Laguna Hills, California. Even after my residency, I have continued my research and learning efforts to stay current with the ever-expanding field of alternative medicine.

I am pleased to return to my hometown of Santa Cruz to offer my services at the Center for Health. As a new patient, expect to spend more time with me than you would with your medical doctor. New visits usually last 1½ hrs. and may involve acquiring records and ordering further testing. As a licensed N.D, I can order and interpret alternative and conventional tests, perform thorough physical exams and prescribe natural medicines including bio-identical hormones. I carry a professional-line dispensary of natural medicines provided at reasonable rates to my patients. I work well in conjunction with all other medical providers, and refer to specialists when appropriate. If you are looking for personalized care from an expert in natural medicine please do not hesitate to call for an appointment. I look forward to serving your health care needs.
