Meet The Team

 Dr. Shaw is the founder, owner, and medical director of Cascade Natural Medicine. She established the practice with a vision of providing thoughtful, root cause care where patients feel heard, supported, and truly cared for. Her path to naturopathic medicine began when one of her children needed medical help and she struggled to find answers. After discovering a doctor who truly listened and helped her family find solutions, the experience changed her life and inspired her to pursue the same path for others. An alumna of the University of Arizona and the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, Dr. Shaw treats thyroid and hormonal conditions, digestive concerns, mood disorders, allergies, autoimmune conditions, and chronic pain. She is also deeply community minded and values creating meaningful connections through local involvement, education, and opportunities that help support the well-being of the community beyond the clinic walls. Outside the clinic, she enjoys gardening, relaxing by the beach, traveling with her husband, trying new restaurants, and spending time with their four children as they navigate young adulthood. 

Dr. Jensen, born and raised in Phoenix, has over 17 years of experience as a Naturopathic Physician. He specializes in hormone health, thyroid conditions, and helping both men and women restore healthy energy, mood, and overall balance through a thoughtful, individualized approach to care. Known for his naturally curious mindset, Dr. Jensen enjoys diving deep into the research behind health and disease. He takes time to explore the “why” and “how” behind each patient’s symptoms and frequently studies emerging therapies and scientific literature to better support his patients. Dr. Jensen earned his Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences from Arizona State University and his Doctorate from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. Outside the clinic, he enjoys spending time outdoors with his family, playing the guitar, reading, and caring for his many reptiles. As a true lifelong learner, he loves sharing interesting health insights and discoveries with his patients. Patients appreciate not only his research-driven approach, but also his genuine kindness and compassion.

She later pursued her passion for holistic and preventative medicine at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. Dr. Hoberg specializes in women’s health and hormone health, with extensive training in bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, including hormone pellet therapy.

Dr. Kassir earned her degree in naturopathic medicine from Sonoran University and focuses on hormone balance, autoimmune conditions, and gut health.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Kassir enjoys spending time with her family, including her two young sons. She’s an avid traveler and has explored all of Arizona’s state and national parks.

Dr. Gilcreest specializes in non-opioid pain management and athletic performance, helping patients improve mobility, recover faster, and restore function so they can get back to doing what they love. She uses structural adjustments, applied kinesiology, and NET to support musculoskeletal and nerve health. These gentle, restorative techniques not only help relieve pain but can also support digestion, sleep, and hormone balance. Dr. Gilcreest first discovered her passion for naturopathic medicine while working at Cascade as a front desk associate. Seeing firsthand how addressing the root cause can transform patients’ health inspired her to pursue a career as a Naturopathic Doctor. Today, she enjoys helping her patients experience that same healing process. As a first generation Italian-American, food, culture, and connection are an important part of her life.
