Wellness Naturopaths in California

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.

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.
