I am a licensed naturopathic doctor and acupuncturist who recently returned to the Central Coast from Portland, Oregon. I grew up in Cayucos, and I am excited to rejoin the community here on the Central Coast. My first time receiving acupuncture was as a patient at this clinic, and so I am truly coming full circle to practice alongside Dr. Julianna Englund at East West Natural Medicine Center! My approach to medicine is strongly integrative. I utilize conventional, naturopathic and Chinese medical treatment options in order to provide the most comprehensive, evidence-based care possible. Clinical modalities include nutrition, physical medicine, acupuncture, botanical medicine and prescription medications when indicated. I often collaborate with other providers to co-manage care for my patients.
