As a naturopathic physician I understand the value of science-based natural medicine. I started off in research at the Medical University of South Carolina studying lupus and went on to receive my doctorate in naturopathic medicine at Bastyr University in Seattle.

I recognize that it is time to look at medicine differently. Patients deserve treatments that support their body’s own healing processes, that are tailored to each patient to address their individual needs, and that work on the fundamental driver’s of disease. My approach to medicine uses a functional medicine methodology for diagnosis and treatment, using science-based natural interventions that work with the body, not against it.

I use personalized lifestyle medicine, taking into account genetic factors, personal history, the microbiome, individualized nutrition needs, and more allowing for treatments to be tailored to you.  You can expect effective interventions that are inspired by nature and backed by science.
