My path to naturopathic medicine began with a simple question: what if healthcare focused on keeping people well—not just treating them when they’re sick?

In my early twenties, I struggled to access affordable, meaningful healthcare. When I did see a doctor, I often left with a prescription—but without a deeper understanding of what was going on in my body. Later, while helping care for my grandmother through multiple chronic conditions, I saw how even the most dedicated physicians were constrained by time, insurance limitations, and a system that prioritized specialization over integration. Despite their best intentions, no one was truly connecting the dots.

I initially pursued a conventional path in medicine, shadowing physicians and planning for medical school. But I found myself questioning a model where so many talented, compassionate doctors were unable to practice the kind of patient-centered, whole-person care they longed to offer.

Eventually, I stepped away and spent time working in regenerative agriculture—growing food, restoring soil, and learning from nature. It reminded me that healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens through interconnected systems. And it requires time, care, and the right conditions.

That’s what led me to naturopathic medicine: a field that blends modern diagnostics with natural therapies and makes space for the complexity of the human experience. It allows me to offer care that’s grounded in science, guided by nature, and deeply individualized.

I earned my doctorate in naturopathic medicine from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and completed two clinically focused residencies—at Emerald City Clinic in Seattle and Healing Roots Center for Transformation in San Diego. I also have additional training in IV therapy, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, yoga, cardiometabolic health (Institute of Functional Medicine), mistletoe therapy for cancer care, and aesthetic microneedling.

In my free time, I’m most at home in nature—hiking, traveling, growing food, and making herbal remedies. I see the healing patterns of the natural world reflected in our bodies every day.

Today, I support patients who want to understand their health more deeply and feel better in a way that lasts. My role is to offer thoughtful, evidence-informed care that helps people feel empowered, motivated, and truly seen.

Healing happens when we listen closely—and I’m here to do just that.
