Dr. Justice has a clinical interest in complex chronic illnesses that may have been previously overlooked or dismissed in a patient’s care. Dr. Justice focuses on deeply listening and working hard to bring together pieces of a patient’s story into a unified whole that can reveal the root cause of symptoms that may have been resistant to previous treatment or gone unaddressed. Dr. Justice sees themself as a facilitator of a person’s healing journey and prioritizes patient goals and preferences when building a treatment plan. Additionally, Dr. Justice is passionate about teaching, and their favorite principle of Naturopathic medicine is Docere – “Doctor as Teacher”. They believe that every patient should be empowered with the knowledge of how their body functions, and that this knowledge is integral to a patient’s ability to take ownership of their health.

Their interest in naturopathic medicine stemmed from experiencing a rare life-threatening condition in childhood and watching their family members battle complex autoimmune diseases for decades without relief despite utilizing the best treatments that conventional care had to offer. They felt that there must be a better way to make sense of these illnesses. The goal of Naturopathic medicine is not just to identify what the diagnosis is, but why it developed, and how to heal the root cause.
