About Me

Naturopathic Physician and IFM Certified Practitioner

I've been a Naturopathic Doctor for the past 25 years. I received my undergraduate degree from Duke University and my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in Seattle WA.

 

I then went on to become deeply involved in the model called functional medicine. I am past Director of Clinical Research at Metagenics’ Functional Medicine Research Center.

 

I'm currently Director of Medical Education at the Institute for Functional Medicine and teach those concepts to other clinicians. I continue to see patients virtually two days a week.

My Practice

I see all patients virtually. A virtual or telemedicine visit is an appointment over a video connection rather than in person. It is convenient and secure and can be done easily wherever you happen to be as long as you have a phone, computer, and internet access.
