At Dynamic Paths, I specialize in non-pharmaceutical interventions for mental health, overweight eating disorders and sugar addiction.

In my private practice, I treat depression, anxiety, fatigue, addictions, and overweight eating disorders. I work with individuals who are reluctant to use pharmaceutical medications, as well as individuals who have chosen to use medications and are still struggling.

Through a six step process, I work to discover the causes of your health concerns and create achievable treatment plan that moves you toward meeting your health care goals.

Opportunities for speaking engagements at small businesses who: •Want to increase energy and mental clarity for its employees during stressful times. •Decrease health care costs by educating its employees about how food affects depression, anxiety, energy, mental clarity, and chronic disease.

As a naturopathic physician and acupuncturist trained at Bastyr University, I bring three filters of understanding to the body, mind and spirit. I was trained much like a medical doctor to use the tools of diagnosis in order to identify diseases such as anemia, hypothyroidism and diabetes, which can feel like depression, fatigue, or anxiety. My training as a naturopathic physician enables me to understand the individual physiology causing the symptoms of depression, anxiety, overeating, and addictive behaviors. Utilizing the 2000 year old tradition of Chinese Medicine, I promote the integration of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual planes in order to facilitate healing.

Prior to my training at Bastyr University, I worked in Vermont with adolescents in psychiatric crisis. After graduating in 2002, I have dedicated my time to working towards understanding how food affects mood, addictions, cravings, and emotional and physical wellbeing. Additionally, I am a national speaker for PESI( pesi.com). I provide day long trainings to mental health professional on the affects food has on mood. Locally, I speak to addiction groups, non-profits, hospitals and small businesses.
