PHILOSOPHY
I fully believe in the power of naturopathic medicine. I’m a passionate healer with an alternative approach and am dedicated to helping my patients move through a wide range of physical, emotional and spiritual transitions in the most efficient and transformative way possible.
​
My treatments are specifically tailored to the needs of each patient to make sure they receive the approach that works best for them. Time and again I have seen the incredible healing power of my treatments. Please contact me or schedule a telemedicine consultation to find out more.
MY JOURNEY
As a young child, I saw many family members who were ill going through the existing medical system. I witnessed a system of "sick-care" that treated a disease only when it had progressed, often leading to a person being hospitalized or potentially being on medication for life. I actually rejected medicine as a potential career for me, and instead focused on psychology where I felt that people could truly get better. After working in behavioral health for a couple years, I found that even in this setting, there were many underlying causes perpetuating not only mood and mental health concerns, but also co-occurring physical concerns. I wanted to be able to help people manage both their mental and physical health using both conventional and eastern philosophies, and this is when I was introduced to naturopathic medicine for the first time. When a mentor mentioned naturopathic medicine to me, it was as if everything suddenly made sense. I knew that this was my path and destiny - to become a naturopathic doctor and healer.
