I am a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and certified Functional Medicine Health Coach. I received my doctorate in naturopathic medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon and a functional medicine coaching certification through the Institute of Functional Medicine. I hold a naturopathic license in Connecticut and see patients in Huntington and Garden City.
My Background and Path to Naturopathic Medicine
After working several years in mental health, I moved to Oregon where I completed a four-year naturopathic medical degree. In addition to my naturopathic education, I volunteered at a hospice center and completed courses in Process Work and counseling. After moving back to the east coast I established a naturopathic practice and also worked as a patient advocate in Boston and New York City.
Working with Dr. Waters
Using a patient-centered approach, I work with my patients to search for the underlying cause of imbalance and create individualized wellness plans based on any findings. My suggestions are designed to help patients make positive lifelong changes, prevent further imbalance, and achieve optimal health.
Hormones, Wellness and Preventative Medicine
I work with both men and women, recognizing that health can be greatly impacted by hormonal changes and imbalances at every stage of life. My goal is to support each patient with a plan that feels comfortable and sustainable — which may include further testing, guidance with supplements and botanical medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle coaching.
Areas of Focus
Dr. Waters' work centers on whole-body wellness for men and women, including hormone balance, thyroid health, energy resilience, nutrition, and lifestyle support.
