Clinical Focus

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that can present in many ways - from persistent facial redness and flushing, to acne-like breakouts, skin sensitivity, and even changes in skin texture or eye health. While it’s common, it’s also complex - and effective treatment means going beyond the surface.

In my practice, I take an integrative, root-cause approach to rosacea care. That means identifying your unique triggers, supporting skin barrier health, and addressing internal contributors like gut function, inflammation, hormonal influences, and immune response.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I work with you to build a personalized plan that’s grounded in science and tailored to your skin.

Acne is one of the most common skin concerns, affecting people of all ages and skin types. Beyond its physical symptoms, it can take a toll on self-esteem, stress levels, and overall well-being. In naturopathic care, acne is approached from the inside out. This means addressing potential root causes - like hormonal fluctuations, inflammation, stress, digestive function, and nutrition - while supporting skin health with evidence-informed, personalized strategies.

Acne may be driven by multiple overlapping contributors. Whether it’s teen or adult-onset acne, hormonally-influenced breakouts, or stress-related flares, a thoughtful, individualized approach can help uncover what’s fueling your symptoms, and guide you toward healthier, clearer skin.

Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can significantly affect quality of life. Naturopathic care takes a whole-person approach to eczema, focusing on identifying potential root causes - such as immune system dysregulation, environmental triggers, stress, and dietary factors - and supporting skin health from the inside out. Whether you’re navigating your first flare or looking for long-term management support, I take the time to understand your story and your skin. We’ll work together to uncover contributing factors and build a sustainable plan to help you feel more comfortable in your skin. Treatment plans are personalized and may include topical therapies, herbal medicine, nutrition guidance, and strategies to support immune and barrier function. The goal is not just short-term relief, but long-term skin balance and improved resilience.

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated condition that can affect the skin, scalp, nails, and joints. While its physical symptoms are often visible, its impact on quality of life - including emotional wellbeing - can be just as significant. Naturopathic care takes a whole-person, evidence-informed approach to psoriasis by supporting skin health, addressing underlying immune and inflammatory drivers, and helping you identify your personal flare-up triggers.

Whether you're newly diagnosed or managing persistent symptoms, I’ll work with you to create a plan that supports both short-term symptom relief and long-term skin resilience. Treatment may include topical therapies, nutrition and supplement support, and strategies to support immune balance and reduce inflammation.

Hair loss and thinning can be frustrating, distressing, and deeply personal. Whether you're noticing increased shedding, thinning around the temples, or a change in hair texture or growth, naturopathic care takes a comprehensive approach to identify and address potential root causes.

In my practice, I support anyone experiencing hair loss - recognizing that contributing factors like hormonal changes, nutrient deficiencies, stress, or chronic inflammation can affect people differently. Together, we’ll explore contributing factors and create a sustainable, evidence-informed plan to support healthier hair and improved scalp function.

The goal isn't just short-term re-growth - but long-term resilience and confidence.

Dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis are common, chronic scalp conditions that can cause discomfort, self-consciousness, and frustration. Naturopathic care takes a whole-person approach - looking beyond the surface to explore possible root causes like microbiome imbalances, inflammation, stress, and hormonal changes. With natural therapies, lifestyle strategies, and personalized treatment plans, there are supportive solutions that go beyond symptom suppression and work toward lasting relief.

Whether you're navigating persistent flakes, irritation, or sensitivity, my goal is to help you feel more comfortable and confident in your skin.

Perioral dermatitis is a common skin condition that mostly affects women and can have a real impact on confidence and quality of life. A naturopathic approach looks beyond the surface - addressing underlying causes like hormonal changes, product reactions, and gut health - while supporting the body’s natural healing ability through gentle, individualized care.

As women transition through perimenopause and menopause, skin changes can lead to a range of emotional and physical challenges. Common alterations include dryness, irritation, and loss of elasticity. Recognizing these symptoms is essential for providing holistic treatment strategies. Dr. Dedecker utilizes a comprehensive approach that includes natural remedies, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle modifications. Empowering women to embrace this transformative phase is at the core of effective care focused on skin health.
