Philosophy of Care:

My goal is to collaborate with patients to find the most appropriate modalities to address medical issues/concerns, whether it be conventional allopathic medicine, homeopathy, nutrition, chiropractics, osteopathy, acupuncture, psychotherapy, neurokinesiology, various forms of body work, et cetera. The human experience is complex and often unpredictable and is often best served by treating people who happen to have problems rather than hyper-focusing on the problems themselves.
