History
I graduated as a naturopathic doctor from Bastyr University in 1999. After passing the national board exams, I moved back to San Francisco and opened my practice in a cottage behind my house in the Noe Valley neighborhood. It's a peaceful garden setting where I hope to foster a relaxing and healing atmosphere.
Specialties
I'm a licensed naturopathic medical doctor specializing in developing comprehensive natural treatment plans for improving health and attaining wellness. I treat people of all ages and conditions, but my focus is more on chronic conditions and long term changes. I particularly specialize in treating all kinds of hormonal imbalances (including thyroid and adrenal,) bioidentical hormones for menopause; digestive issues such as IBS and Reflux, and anxiety, depression and insomnia. I also offer a 3-week metabolic detox plan, various weight management programs, and breast thermography imaging. My dispensary is stocked with professional-grade nutritional supplements - herbs, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, and homeopathic remedies - and I also have the ability to prescribe all hormones and most pharmaceuticals if necessary.
