I’ve a lifelong passion for the mind-body connection, which I use to unlock each person’s unique ability to achieve optimal wellness and vitality. I’m here to help you thrive!

A naturopathic practitioner, I’m an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner, board-certified by The American Alternative Medical Association, a Doctor of Pastoral Therapy, a Certified 3X4 Genetics Practitioner, and a Certified Gluten Practitioner. My interest in alternative medicine was heightened during my time as a professional athlete and includes a focus on chronic disease, functional endocrinology, hormone balancing, chronic pain, and athletic performance.

Through a combination of extensive training and innate intuition, I work closely with clients to understand their health history (both physical and emotional) and what natural modalities she can apply to bring their minds and bodies back to their inherently healthy state.

After clients have filled out detailed questionnaires, I engage them in a conversation about their lives and, similar to an investigator, I look for clues about their physical and emotional health, starting the minute a client walks into the office, observing posture, gait, facial symmetry, skin tone, body shape, and more. I may also sense sources of physical or emotional dysfunction through a Korean technique called Sugi, a system of using acupuncture points to feel the body’s pulses through touch.

Oftentimes, what a person tells me on the forms is different than what we uncover once we go over them together. Together, we uncover the source. The body is an amazing machine and it doesn’t go out of whack unless there is a cause. For example, someone may come in with a sensation of asthma and we find it is food sensitivities, or sleep issues that are caused by unresolved trauma or emotional imbalance. 

Much of the care I deliver requires clients to make lifestyle changes to take control over issues that are making them sick, such as poor diet or a stressful work situation. I provide support every step of the way, even consulting with clients over online video conferencing if they can’t come to my office.

In lieu of pharmaceuticals, I work with clients to help improve their health through nutritional counseling, supplement support, hormone balancing, laser therapy, and more. I apply whatever combination of protocols each person’s body requires, never pushing them beyond where they’re capable of going at the time.

Many people come to see me feeling like they need to detox. True detox is not an easy path, so we may start with a different approach to prepare the body and mind. Just as we all have a unique fingerprint, so should we approach our health. One diet or protocol does not fit all. 

Ultimately, I have faith in the strength of the human spirit and the wonders of the human body. The amazing body we’ve been handed works great if we stay in touch with ourselves and take charge of our own wellness.
