Work With Me

The therapeutic alliance is the secret ingredient to achieving vitality and optimal health. It is defined as a supportive and collaborative relationship between the practitioner and patient where both agencies accept to undertake and follow through on specific tasks. When both parties share responsibility in working to achieve the goals of treatment, magic happens.

Functional medicine is patient centered not disease centered. You were not born with a chronic illness, rather you acquired one. Together we will make a timeline to identify antecedents, triggers, and mediators that contribute to your current state of health. I take the time to get to know you because the more I understand your history, lifestyle, and genetics the more we understand what makes your balance unique.

Comprehensive lab work and speciality labs are used to dig deeper into your unique clinical picture. Results will help determine a diagnoses, course of action, check to see whether treatment is working, and to monitor the disease over time. It’s important to note that while we “treat the person, not the labs,” data is useful and can provide great advantages to your health care plan.

The whole body approach is a keystone pillar to functional medicine. The body is an interconnected system comprised of the mind, body, and spirit. These three elements contribute to a person’s overall state of health and therefore, are incorporated into every health journey.
