Comprehensive Root Cause Approach to Mental Wellness

Yes. Naturopathic medicine takes a whole-person approach to anxiety by looking beyond the symptoms and exploring what may be contributing to how you're feeling.

For some people, anxiety is closely connected to chronic stress or burnout. For others, it may be influenced by nutrient deficiencies, hormone changes, digestive health, blood sugar fluctuations, poor sleep, or thyroid dysfunction. During your appointments, we'll take the time to understand your health history, review any relevant lab work, and create a personalized treatment plan that addresses the factors most relevant to you.

My goal isn't simply to help you manage anxiety—it's to help you understand why your body feels stuck in a constant state of stress and support it in becoming more resilient over time.

Yes. Hormones have a significant impact on how we feel emotionally and physically.

Many women notice increased anxiety around their menstrual cycle, during pregnancy or postpartum, throughout perimenopause, or when experiencing conditions such as PCOS or thyroid disorders. Changes in estrogen and progesterone can influence mood, sleep, and stress resilience, making anxiety feel more intense at certain times.

If hormones appear to be playing a role in your symptoms, we'll discuss appropriate testing and treatment options as part of your individualized care plan.

Low iron, vitamin B12, vitamin D, magnesium, and other nutrient deficiencies may contribute to symptoms such as fatigue, poor concentration, low mood, heart palpitations, or feeling more vulnerable to stress.

While correcting a deficiency isn't a cure for anxiety, optimizing your nutritional status can remove one of the factors that may be making it harder for your nervous system to function well.

When appropriate, we'll review your blood work and discuss whether additional testing or supplementation may be beneficial.

Many of the people I work with have been told that everything looks "normal," yet they continue to struggle with anxiety, fatigue, poor sleep, digestive issues, or feeling constantly overwhelmed.

Normal test results don't mean your symptoms aren't real. They simply mean we may need to look at your health more comprehensively. Together, we'll review your history, lifestyle, stress patterns, nutrition, and available lab work to better understand what may be contributing to how you're feeling. My goal is to help you make sense of your symptoms and develop a personalized plan that supports your overall health—not just your lab values.

Many patients notice improvements within 4-6 weeks, though optimal results typically occur over 3-6 months as we address underlying imbalances.

Yes, naturopathic treatment can complement conventional care. I work collaboratively with your prescribing physician to ensure safe, integrated treatment.

Many extended health benefit plans include coverage for visits with a licensed Naturopathic Doctor.

Because every insurance plan is different, I recommend checking with your provider to confirm your individual coverage and annual limits. (We also provide direct billing)

Your first appointment is designed to give us the time to truly understand your health.

We'll review your current symptoms, medical history, medications, nutrition, digestion, sleep, stress levels, menstrual health (if applicable), lifestyle, and any previous treatments you've tried. We'll also discuss your goals and what you'd like to achieve through care.

If you have previous blood work or other relevant test results, we'll review those together. At the end of your visit, we'll discuss the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
