You Know

Your Child.

Let's Start There.

The answers you're looking for may be in the places others haven't thought to look.

You've Been Carrying A Lot

You've researched. You've advocated.

You've attended meetings. You've followed recommendations.

And you still feel like something important is being missed.

Who I Work With

I work with children and adolescents dealing with ADHD, autism, anxiety, sensory processing differences, school avoidance, sleep difficulties, and emotional or behavioral challenges — whether these show up on their own or alongside a diagnosis. As a naturopathic doctor and creative arts therapist based in Shelton, CT, I bring together physical health, nervous system regulation, and emotional expression to help families in Shelton, Fairfield County, and throughout Connecticut find answers that go beyond a single label.

When The Whole Picture Hasn't Been Seen

There May Be More To The Story

A diagnosis can explain part of what you're seeing.

A symptom can explain one piece.

But children are rarely that simple.

When health, development, behavior, emotions, and environment

are viewed together, a clearer picture begins to emerge.

Every Child Is

More Than A Diagnosis.

What I've Learned

The most important clues are often the ones that don't seem connected. As a naturopathic doctor working with children and adolescents, I look at how sleep, focus, mood, digestion, learning, and behavior interact, because in a developing nervous system, these pieces rarely operate in isolation. A child struggling with attention may also be dealing with poor sleep or gut health issues that are quietly driving symptoms. A pediatric naturopathic assessment looks at the whole picture, not just the presenting behavior.

Sleep. Focus. Mood. Digestion. Learning. Behavior.

When those pieces are viewed together, a different picture begins to emerge.

Meaningful answers come from understanding the whole child.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a naturopathic doctor?
A naturopathic doctor (ND) is trained to look at health from a whole-person perspective — physical, emotional, and environmental — rather than treating symptoms in isolation. For children and adolescents, this means considering how sleep, nutrition, nervous system regulation, and daily environment may be contributing to behavioral or emotional challenges.

Do you work with kids who already have a diagnosis?
Yes. Many of the families I work with come in with an existing diagnosis, such as ADHD, autism, or anxiety, and are looking for a deeper understanding of what's driving their child's specific patterns. A diagnosis can explain part of the picture — my work is helping you see the rest.

What ages do you work with?
I work with children and adolescents. If you're unsure whether your child's age or situation is a good fit, reach out and we can talk it through.

What does creative arts therapy add to this approach?
Creative arts therapy gives children a way to process and express experiences that are hard to put into words — especially useful for kids who struggle with emotional regulation or have big reactions they can't yet explain. Combined with naturopathic assessment, it offers both a physiological and emotional lens on what's happening.

Where are you located, and do you work with families outside Shelton, CT?
My practice is located at 215 Coram Avenue, Shelton, CT. I work with families throughout Fairfield County and Connecticut, and offer telehealth/virtual visits as well.
