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?

The chronic conditions most likely to affect us—heart disease, cancer, dementia, diabetes—are largely preventable. I wanted to pursue a medical education that prioritized true prevention through tools like nutrition, herbal medicine, movement, and mind-body care. Naturopathic medicine offered exactly that: a science-based, whole-person approach that supports the body’s innate ability to heal.

Before medical school, I worked in regenerative agriculture—growing food, restoring soil, and learning from nature. It reminded me that healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in integrated systems. And it requires time, care, and the right conditions. That perspective continues to shape how I practice today.

I earned my doctorate 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 have additional training in IV therapy, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, yoga teaching, mistletoe therapy for cancer care, cardiometabolic health (Institute of Functional Medicine), and aesthetic microneedling.

In my free time, I’m most at home in nature—hiking, traveling, growing food, and making herbal remedies.

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.
