I’ve always had a complicated relationship with health. For a long time, “being healthy” was synonymous with calorie deficits and weight loss, which (unsurprisingly) led to an unhealthy relationship with food, movement, and myself. As I started to work on healing that relationship, I was introduced to naturopathic medicine and realized that health is so much more than a diagnosis, a lab value, or a number on a scale. 

Now, I have the incredible privilege of becoming the healthcare provider I always wished I had - someone who takes the time to truly listen, who orders and assesses lab work for optimal values, and who collaborates on a treatment plan that aligns with your health goals. 

Navigating between conventional and alternative medicine can be overwhelming, but my goal is to support you in making the best decisions for your health journey.
