Health Professionals in Gurnee, IL
You don’t feel like yourself anymore. Even though your labs are “normal.” You’re exhausted, foggy, bloated, sleeping poorly, or navigating perimenopause and hormone shifts that don’t make sense.
I work with midlife women who feel off in their bodies and want real clarity about what’s driving persistent fatigue, brain fog, digestive changes, and blood sugar instability. We take a foundations-first approach, focusing on digestion, metabolism, sleep, and hormone patterns before adding complexity.
Together, we build a structured, personalized plan that fits real life so you can feel steady, clear, and like yourself again.

I treat patients with a wide variety of problems. I help people with all types of pain including back, neck, shoulder, hip, knee, arthritis/ joint and headaches, to name some. I also work with stress relief, anxiety, depression, insomnia, digestive issues and the negative side-effects of chemotherapy. Acupuncture can be used for any imbalance in the body.

If food feels difficult, confusing and/or causes you worry, let’s talk about it. I’m here to help make it a bit easier. I use a nonjudgmental, weight-neutral and gender inclusive approach, to help all people realize that food can and does mean so much more than just the nutrients on the plate, and empower them that having a normalized relationship with food is possible. I believe in utilizing an all foods fit mentality to neutralize from the notion of “good” or “bad” foods. I specialize in working with adults, but can provide referrals to other providers who work with children or adolescents, upon request.
