I strive to help people feel better and live better. My care looks beyond symptoms and toward the root of the illness. I treat patients, not simply diseases. I offer safe, effective, and natural therapies for restoring health and optimizing wellness. I treat patients with a variety of conditions, anywhere from diabetes, depression, anxiety, fatigue, to chronic infections and autoimmune conditions; helping to minimize the use of prescription drugs and stimulate the healing capacity of the individual. I have passion for helping those with chronic and acute pain overcome their injuries with regenerative injection therapies.

Naturopathic physicians are trained as primary care providers who diagnose, treat and manage patients with acute and chronic conditions, while addressing disease and dysfunction at the level of body, mind and spirit. At Ascend Integrative Medicine, we concentrate on individualized patient wellness through health promotion and disease prevention, attempting to find the underlying cause of the patient’s condition. ​ we provide evidence-informed therapies that balance the least harmful and most effective approaches to help facilitate the body’s inherent ability to restore and maintain optimal health.

I received my doctorate in naturopathic medicine from The Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in 2011. Studying at BINM provided me with the opportunity to be exposed to a variety of specialty treatments, including the use of ozone, prolotherapy and IV therapies. In addition, I had the privilege of receiving formal medical training in oncology by Dr. Neil McKinney, one of the leading naturopathic doctors in naturopathic oncology. In 2012, I joined Synergy Natural Medicine Clinic in Monrovia, CA, to become a specialist in naturopathic oncology. In March, 2016, I redesigned a small clinic and we have been growing ever since!
