Experience
Naturopathic Thyroid Specialist
Jul 2021 — Present · Portland, OR, US
As the founder and clinical director of NW Functional Thyroid Clinic, I specialize in helping individuals—particularly women—overcome chronic thyroid issues like Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and hypothyroidism using a personalized, root-cause approach.With over 25 years of clinical experience as a naturopathic physician and functional medicine practitioner, I’ve dedicated my career to identifying and addressing the underlying drivers of thyroid dysfunction, including autoimmunity, gut health imbalances, hormone disruption, chronic infections, and nutritional deficiencies.My work integrates advanced diagnostic testing, evidence-based natural therapies, and holistic lifestyle strategies to restore optimal thyroid function, reduce fatigue, improve metabolism, and enhance overall well-being. I work closely with each patient to develop an individualized care plan that goes far beyond symptom management—focusing instead on long-term healing and resilience.In addition to clinical care, I am the author of the award-winning book The Thyroid Fix, and creator of The Thyroid Fix Method, an 8-week online health course designed to educate and empower people living with thyroid disorders.At NW Functional Thyroid Clinic, I oversee all aspects of care delivery, clinical protocols, and program development. I also manage strategic direction, content creation, and patient education to support our mission: helping patients take control of their health and get their lives back.Areas of expertise include:• Functional endocrinology• Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and hypothyroidism• Advanced diagnostic testing (DUTCH, GI-MAP, OATs, etc.)• Gut-immune-hormone axis• Chronic fatigue and brain fog recovery• Holistic treatment planning and lifestyle coachingIf you\'re seeking a practitioner who looks beyond labs and listens to your full story, I’m here to help.
