Most people seek homeopathic medicine with me after trying many other forms of treatment and still are not well. I specialize in cases that have not responded to other interventions, including prior homeopathic treatment.
As a well-trained and experienced practitioner, I understand that while my ability to prescribe accurately is crucial, of equal importance is the ability to provide proper case management. The best remedy in the world is worthless unless a patient’s case is managed effectively. Due to my expertise in this area, colleagues have often consulted me for case management advice.
You, your family, and your animals can benefit from homeopathic medicine:
- if you have been diagnosed with ADHD, depression or other emotional problems
- if you have allergies, Lyme disease, arthritis, digestive and respiratory complaints, and most other physical complaints
- if you do not have any diagnosis or physical discomfort but simply do not enjoy your life in the way you would like.
- if you have used homeopathy before and experienced so-so or no result.
- A most enjoyable part of my practice is my work with animals. If you have a cat, dog, or horse who has persistent behavioral problems or is recovering from injury or other trauma, homeopathy works well.

Homeopathic Medicine is based on
a very simple principle.
“Like cures like.”
Homeopathic medicine restores the sick to health, and does not merely cover up the symptoms.
Traditional medicine says that a person is sick because he has a sore throat.
Homeopathic medicine says that a person has a sore throat because he is sick.
Homeopathic medicine is no more a “New Age” practice than quantum physics and can treat a broad range of physical, emotional, and behavioral conditions facing us today, some of which include: ADHD, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, behavioral problems in animals, behavioral, emotional, developmental disorders in children and adults, chronic-fatigue syndrome, depression, digestive problems, Lyme disease, menopausal complaints and other hormonal problems in men and women, pre- and post- operative care, PTSD, relationship/family dysfunction, respiratory/allergy complaints, and other chronic, unresponsive complaints, to name a few.
Homeopathic medicine uses specifically prepared remedies, as they are called, to treat a person’s whole being, their constitution. Remedies are made from various substances – from animals, plants, even minerals. Through special preparation the raw substances are potentized and diluted to extract their maximum benefit. The remedy helps the person “remember” its state of health, “remember” its own individual Vital Force.
“Remember” being well.
Remedies are developed through a process called Proving, the equivalent of the clinical trials used to develop pharmaceutical drugs. Potential remedies are administered to healthy humans over an extended period of time using a double-blind method, without expectation as to outcome. Extensive data is kept on each symptom produced by the remedy. Quinine, the “Newton’s apple” of homeopathy, was the first remedy proven in this manner.
I am often asked how I am able to treat people without seeing them. When I first began to practice homeopathy in 1997 it was uncommon, though not unusual to do so by telephone. Though working remotely is now common in most fields, I am still one of only a few U.S. homeopaths who conduct telephone consultations. The use of skype is always an option, though I prefer to listen to a person’s voice – to hear what is said, and not said, along with speech patterns, mannerisms, as well as content. One of my strengths and training is listening.
On the practical side, doing telephone consultations allows me to treat people wherever they are, and to provide a convenient, distraction-free sessions. After we schedule your appointment, you do not have to fight traffic, sit in a waiting room, take the kids out of school, etc. You make the call from the comfort of your home, office, or wherever phone service is reliable and private. Complete confidentiality is guaranteed.
The exception is the treatment of animals – I prefer to see them in their natural environment for the first consultation, though when that is not possible, skype, video and/or photos work well.
As a trained listener and experienced, advanced homeopath I connect with you at your place of health and listen through your symptoms.

I earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Syracuse University in 1982 and completed four years of full-time study of classical homeopathy with Vega Rozenberg. Other homeopaths with whom I attended seminars are Jeremy Sherr, Lou Klein, and Misha Norland. I began private practice in 1997. Before settling in western Massachusetts in 2007 in my native New England, I lived in many places in the U.S.
It is my hope that my work incorporates the instructions of Samuel Hahnemann to understand disease and the medicine, and that my prescriptions succeed because I possess a thorough familiarity with each patient as a whole. I believe that over the years I have developed the ability to perceive accurately complicated cases, to listen without judgment to find the correct simillimum and to practice homeopathic medicine with great care, clarity and success.
