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 Naturopathic Doctor, my goals are to identify & address the root cause(s) of the health condition(s), use safe & effect natural therapies, and promote disease prevention through education. There is a time and place for all types of medicine...It's important to have options when it comes to healthcare decisions.

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.

Vitamin Therapy Naturopaths
What is vitamin therapy?
Vitamin therapy, also known as IV vitamin therapy, involves administering vitamins directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) catheter. Similar to traditional IV treatments used in medical settings for delivering fluids, electrolytes, or medications rapidly, IV vitamin therapy uses a similar setup but is typically performed in non-hospital settings to infuse vitamins directly. Proponents claim this method can boost immunity, increase energy levels, and enhance overall health. However, its effectiveness is controversial within the medical community, as scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited. Further, there are a number of potential risks associated with IV vitamin therapy, such as infection and damage to body systems if improper vitamin doses are used. Clients should always consult with a trained medical professional about the potential benefits and risks of IV vitamin therapy in order to make an informed decision on whether the therapy makes sense for them.
