Philosophy of Endometriosis Care: My approach to endometriosis is very collaborative. I encourage patients to build their team of providers, which may include an excision surgeon, OBGYN, reproductive endocrinologist, acupuncturist, pelvic floor PT, mental health, and nutrition support. Acupuncture can address the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of chronic pain and can improve the quality of life for patients living with endometriosis. I am also a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and often discuss and prescribe supplements, medications, herbs, nutrition, and lifestyle changes with my patients. Many patients with endometriosis also have significant digestive and bladder issues, so I often do workups and treatment for conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and Interstitial Cystitis (IC).
