Mental Health

Mental health is not separate from physical health; the brain is an organ, and it responds to nutrition, hormones, inflammation, and sleep just like every other system. I work with patients experiencing depression, anxiety, burnout, brain fog, and sleep disorders using an integrative, whole-person approach.

A naturopathic approach identifies and treats the biological contributors to attention, focus, and impulse regulation alongside, or sometimes instead of, conventional medication.

Vitamin D Deficiency in British Columbia: Why You're Probably Not Getting Enough

If you live in British Columbia, there's a strong chance your vitamin D levels are lower than they should be. Our northern latitude, long overcast winters, and indoor lifestyles conspire to create widespread deficiency, with consequences that extend far beyond bone health. Vitamin D is a hormone that influences immune function, mood, sleep, and nearly every chronic disease process.

Adrenal Fatigue and Burnout: A Naturopathic Path to Recovery

April 9, 2026

You're exhausted but wired. Coffee barely works anymore. You crash hard in the afternoon but can't fall asleep at night. You feel like you're running on fumes, because physiologically, you are. While 'adrenal fatigue' isn't a recognized conventional diagnosis, the pattern of HPA axis dysregulation it describes is very real, very measurable, and very treatable.
