Honoring Your Inner Wisdom
I take the whole you into account and honor the interconnectedness of your body. I am amazed by the outcomes in the healing process when the body is supported with the right tools. The simplest and gentlest treatments can bring about profound change. I practice with modalities that engage and encourage the body’s innate wisdom and healing capacity, using herbal medicine, manual therapy, homeopathic medicine, and hydrotherapy with my patients.
Treating the Root Cause
Symptoms are your body’s way of communicating its needs and revealing what is out of balance. My approach to addressing these imbalances is guided by the therapeutic order of Naturopathic Medicine, starting with foundational aspects of health including movement, nutrition, sleep, social connection before moving to higher level interventions of treatment. My treatments are also partly informed by the intelligence of the body through hands-on modalities. My goal is to help you restore balance by searching for and treating the underlying causes of your conditions. These causes may be environmental, structural, autoimmune, biochemical, nutritional, or emotional in origin.
You Are in Control of Your Health
As a naturopathic physician, I strive to help empower you and help guide you toward optimal vitality. You are the agent of your own health, and it is my privilege to work with you on your journey of health and healing in a judgment-free space where you feel safe and seen.

Outside of work
From Michigan to France to Arizona to Oregon, I like to explore the beauty of my surroundings by spending time outside, whether it be camping, hiking, or being at the ocean. In my down time, I like to go on road trips, visit local coffee shops and restaurants, spend time with loved ones, and read with a cup of tea.
