Naturopathic medicine looks at your whole health picture, not just the symptom in front of you. It combines conventional diagnostics and treatment with clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, and other natural therapies to find out what's actually driving how you feel, not just to manage it. The goal is always the same: understand the root cause, then build a plan around it.

These six principles are the framework every naturopathic doctor is trained to apply, and they anchor how I show up for each patient. First, do no harm. Identify and treat the cause, not just the symptom. Treat the whole person, not an isolated complaint. Support the body's own healing power. Doctor as a teacher, not just a prescriber, so you understand what's happening in your own body. And prevention, building health before something becomes a bigger problem.

Doctor as teacher is the one I've come to value most over a decade of practice. A lot of my work is holding space to explain your body to you and then listening as you teach me about your specific needs so we can problem-solve together.

There's an order to how I approach care. First, we look at what's getting in the way of your health, things like diet, chronic stress, or digestive issues, and start removing those obstacles. From there, we work to support your body's own ability to heal, using tools like clinical nutrition and botanical medicine, and address any weakened systems so your body is functioning as a whole, not in isolated parts. If something structural is contributing, like musculoskeletal issues, we address that too. Natural substances come first when they're appropriate, because the goal is restoring your body, not just suppressing a symptom. Pharmaceuticals come in when they're genuinely the right tool, and if you ever need something beyond what I can offer, like surgery or specialist care, I'll refer you and stay involved to support you through it. Nothing here is about avoiding conventional medicine. It's about using the right tool at the right time, in the right order.

Both, depending on what's appropriate and where you're located. I'm trained to use pharmaceuticals when they're the right tool, but my ability to prescribe depends on the scope of practice in each state where I'm licensed: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Montana, and Kansas. Montana is currently the only one of those four that allows naturopathic doctors full prescribing authority. In the other three, I'll refer you to another provider for anything outside that scope. Either way, the goal is the same: figuring out what you actually need, not defaulting to one type of treatment.

If you've been told your labs are normal but you don't feel like yourself, this is probably a good fit. I work with women who are done guessing, done trying another supplement on their own, and ready for someone to actually investigate what's happening in their body.

If you're looking for a quick fix or a single answer without wanting to be part of the process, this likely isn't the right approach for you.

If you're not sure, the free discovery call is a low-pressure way to find out. You will have the opportunity to share your health needs, and we will provide insight on how we may consider evaluating and treating your concerns. No medical advice will be given.

I moved to a fully virtual model out of necessity during COVID, and I kept it because it works. It gives patients across a wider area access to care, and it lets me see people in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Montana, and Kansas without being physically present in each state. Virtual visits aren't a replacement for a primary care physician who needs to listen to your lungs or feel your thyroid in person, but there's a lot we can accomplish over video: a real conversation about what's going on and ordering the right diagnostics to get you answers.

In many states Naturopathic doctors are out-of-network providers; thus, our visits are not typically covered. However, you may request a superbill, which can be submitted to your PPO plan. Please review your individual coverage to determine if labs, imaging, and prescriptions may be covered. Medicare will not cover naturopathic medical care.

Our secure EHR system maintains credit card or HSA/FSA information for billing visits.

Click the Get Started button and you'll fill out a short questionnaire. From there, we'll reach out to schedule your free discovery call.

That first conversation is where I hear about your health goals and why you've reached out, so we can figure out together what a plan might look like and whether this is the right fit. Sometimes that also means pointing you toward a specialist first, if that's what you actually need. Either way, it's a chance for us both to see if we're a good match before moving forward.

After scheduling your first visit you will be invited to our EHR system and receive several consent forms and questionnaires to complete. These documents will require 30–60 minutes to complete and will need to be submitted at least 48 hours prior to your visit—if not, your appointment will be rescheduled. You may wish to upload and share any recent labs, imaging, or other pertinent information to the EHR patient portal.

Our care is individualized based on each person’s needs. This will be discussed with each visit. You may expect to have your first follow-up visit 2–6 weeks after the initial visit.

When you schedule an appointment, that time is reserved especially for you, and other patients can’t schedule. Therefore, Integrative Healthwerks requires that cancellations and scheduling changes be made at least 48 hours prior to your scheduled appointment. Monday appointments must be cancelled before 5:00 pm CT the Friday prior.

We are committed to being on time with patients’ appointments. If you arrive late to your appointment, your appointment will end at the scheduled time, and you will be charged for the full length of the originally scheduled appointment.

We will always discuss where to find high-quality recommended supplements, or we may place a special order on your behalf. Typically, we utilize the virtual dispensary, Fullscript. New patients will receive an invitation via email to set up your account. Patients with existing recommendations can access Fullscript here.
