About Me

I have worked in various roles in healthcare since age 16.  Integrative medicine has been an interest of mine for most of my adult life. Health and wellbeing is a lifelong journey, and I have seen first-hand from a young age how various factors (nutrition, exercise, sleep, etc.) can influence one’s health and wellbeing.  With this interest, I have furthered my education by completing a two-year fellowship with the Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine (AIHM) in 2024, receiving formal education in integrative and functional medicine and earning credentials as Fellow of the Academy.  

Our current healthcare system prioritizes treating symptoms and current illness, but doesn’t do much to prevent or find the root cause of what is driving those symptoms and illness.  Integrative medicine is a form of medicine that does just that!  It combines conventional and complementary medicine, using the best of both worlds. Integrative care optimizes testing, uses modalities such as lifestyle changes and nutritional therapies, and encourages a strong provider/patient relationship to best care for the whole person- mind, body, and spirit, while finding and treating the root cause of illness.  My goal and passion is to take good care of my patients by working together as a team, while teaching how to optimize one's own health.  I practice evidence-based medicine, ensuring any interventions are safe, and are the best therapies for you. I do this by looking at your personal health journey, goals for your health, careful lab ordering and interpretation, and lots of research!  No two patients will have the same plan of care. 

Passion and quality care have always defined my practice and I greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with you on your health and wellness journey.
