My Approach

You are unique. And so is your health. This is why I create individualized health plans for my patients.

I understand that making lifestyle changes can be difficult which is why I take time to carefully consider where you are on your own health journey. After intently listening to your health story, I investigate the root causes to your symptoms. This will often include individually selected lab tests depending on your health concerns and goals. I then lead with a well thought out action plan and instruct you on how to do it. Don’t worry, I provide lots of support along the way! Imagine the freedom and clarity you will feel when you no longer have to try to figure it all out on your own!

 
 

My Professional Super Powers Include:

  • Taking time to listen deeply to patients as they describe their health experiences

  • Recognizing and correcting underlying imbalances to symptoms

  • Educating & empowering patients with key health information about their bodies

  • Designing enjoyable & sustainable lifestyle plans that align with patient health & life goals.

  • Using Food as Medicine

 
 

What does health mean to you?

For the last 19 years in clinical practice, I have asked myself and my patients this question. I believe health is more than just a ‘normal’ lab test result. This is why I make sure to pay close attention not just to the physical aspects of your heath history but the emotional ones too. I care about how you actually feel not just what the lab results tell us you should be feeling.

 
 

The conditions I typically treat include but are not limited to:

  • Low Energy

  • PMS

  • Mood Changes Anxiety/Depression/Irritable

  • Preconception Care & Fertility Support

  • Poor Digestion & IBS

  • PCOS

  • Menopause

  • Perimenopause

  • Fatigue & Burnout

  • Irregular cycles/hormone changes

  • Stress and feelings of overwhelm

  • Diabetes/Insulin resistance

  • Stubborn weight changes

  • Thyroid Imbalances

 

 I will be honest, if you are looking for a drill sergeant, I am not the best fit for you. However, if you enjoy feeling seen, heard and taken care of, you have come to the right place. By nature, I am a very patient, encouraging soul and I pride myself on providing a non judgmental, safe space for you to feel, to heal and to thrive. As your Naturopathic Doctor, I will give you step by step guidance and cheer you on every step of the way as you progress towards your goals.

I am excited to work with you!
