I'm particularly good at educating my patients, about their current health conditions, and about treatment and prevention. I came into medicine strongly influenced by the women's self-care movement of the '70; I believe health care can be about giving people control over their bodies and their lives. While homeopathy is only one of the modalities I use, the skills needed to be a good homeopath, deeply understanding a patient, serve me (and my patients) well in whatever form of treatment we choose.

One of the things I like best about being a naturopathic doctor is the wide range of options I have in treating my patients. Being able to choose among nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, physical medicine, and counseling, as well as appropriate conventional medicine, is tremendously useful.

I find that many of my patients very much appreciate having a doctor who is both well-versed in conventional medicine (particularly diagnosis, but also treatment) and skilled at a range of alternative medicine techniques.
