What problems do you consistently solve for your patients?

I like to assist my patients in understanding the interconnectedness of their health and how powerful intention can be in the healing process. I use comprehensive laboratory testing and thoughtful planning to create treatment plans that are simple and effective. I also utilize food as medicine and select interventions that treat the body as a whole and not just symptoms.

What are you most passionate about professionally? Personally?

Professionally, I am passionate about empowering people with knowledge to make better decisions about their health and wellbeing. I enjoy helping patients reframe their relationship with food and exercise and examine any self-limiting beliefs they hold about their bodies and its healing potential. Personally, I strive to be a better version of myself every day and to keep an open mind in everything I do.

Any unique characteristics about you as a provider?

Although my professional training has come from a Western perspective of medicine, I sincerely believe that ALL forms of healing deserve consideration when creating a treatment plan. I enjoy learning about different healing modalities and am a certified Reiki and Neuro Emotional Technique practitioner.

What is the biggest proof that you are good at what you do?

When patients feel confident sending their loved ones to work with me.

What are you complimented on most in your work?

My desire to collaborate with my patients and my ability to listen and create a safe space where people can be honest about their health struggles and motivations.

What are a few things you couldn’t live without?

I would not last very long without cilantro, access to the outdoors and plenty of sunshine.

What do you do for fun in your spare time? What are your hobbies?

A few activities that bring me great joy are tennis, yard work, and dancing. I love playing tennis as much as possible, connecting to nature through yard work and gardening, and participating in all types of dance cardio classes.
