I am dedicated to health and healing. I wanted to be a doctor since I was in kindergarten. In my early teens I began suffering from a debilitating dis-ease that led me to discover naturopathic medicine. At the same time, my experiences taught me the pros and cons of ‘western’ medicine and a unique respect and appreciation for both ideologies. I work with my patients to formulate the best plan for them as an individual, not a disease. I thoroughly enjoy getting to know my patients and sharing in their lives. I believe that understanding my patients better positions me to understand their dis-ease and determine how to help them optimize their health and lives.
