I was born and raised in Auburn, California and am a 1996 graduate of Bastyr University, the leading naturopathic medical school in North America. Growing up with my dad as a local doctor inspired me to pursue medicine myself. Personal illness with questions left unanswered by western medicine led me in the direction of naturopathic medicine. I am passionate about helping people find their optimal health. I fill up my free time with my husband and 2 beautiful daughters. Together we enjoy rock-climbing, horse back riding, surfing, gardening and just being together.

As a California-licensed primary care naturopathic doctor, my primary goal is to partner with you to prevent illness, but if a "dis-ease" is present, to utilize the most natural, non-toxic, and least invasive therapies first. Another critical priority is finding the underlying cause(s) of illness, not merely treating symptoms, therefore, I use hundreds of diagnostic and functional medical labs to help diagnose. My special areas of expertise are: balancing body; diabetes/cardiometabolic; mood (depression, anxiety); hormonal balance (i.e. thyroid, adrenal, bio-identical hormones); healthy aging; weight/fat loss; exercise/nutrition/managing stress; fatigue, optimal health.

What is IV vitamin therapy?
Intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy is a treatment in which vitamins are directly administered into the bloodstream through a small needle, allowing for faster absorption than oral supplements. In medical settings, IVs are commonly used to quickly deliver fluids, electrolytes, or medications to patients. IV vitamin therapy uses a similar setup but specifically infuses vitamins and is typically provided in non-hospital settings, such as wellness clinics. Proponents claim it can boost immunity and improve overall health, though its effectiveness remains controversial among healthcare professionals. Potential risks include infection and organ damage if improper doses are administered, so it’s essential for individuals to consult a qualified medical professional to weigh the benefits and risks and determine if IV vitamin therapy is suitable for them.
