My greatest joy comes from empowering individuals and families to live vibrant, healthy lives. While honoring your unique preferences and wisdom, I inspire people of all ages to live fully, peacefully, and with awareness. Partnering with nature, I use natural remedies, acupuncture, craniosacral, diet, lifestyle, and homeopathy to promote optimal health; while also tending the mental/emotional connections to your health. Patients come to me who want to explore the ways in which their body is communicating to them so that we can find ways to restore health and freedom.

I have been a practicing physician for 20 years. As a Naturopathic Doctor I specialize in musculoskeletal rehabilitation (acute and chronic joint and muscle pain), and women’s health (PMS, menopause, fatigue, insomnia, thyroid, hormones). In evaluation I use a variety of assessment tools including functional exams, labs, and imaging. I have a unique functional approach when addressing musculoskeletal pain that comes from years of training in human movement.
