About Me
I am a naturopathic doctor devoted to helping people who are invested in their health feel well again—by understanding their bodies and learning to trust their inner wisdom. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens most effectively when care is thoughtful, continuous, and rooted in partnership rather than quick fixes.
I earned my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University and bring a broad clinical background that bridges conventional and holistic healthcare. My training includes clinical laboratory science, holistic health, and hands-on therapeutic work, allowing me to translate complex health information into practical, embodied guidance that patients can actually live with.
Over the course of my career, I have worked in leadership roles within medical and laboratory settings, where I developed a deep respect for precision, systems thinking, and the importance of high standards of care. At the same time, my personal experience navigating breast cancer profoundly shaped how I practice medicine. That journey reinforced my commitment to treating the whole person, addressing root causes, and honoring the body’s innate capacity for healing when it is properly supported.
In my practice, I guide patients back to the foundational rhythms that their bodies have always known. Beneath symptoms like fatigue, hormone imbalance, digestive concerns, and weight changes, I often see a deeper pattern—disruption in the body’s natural timing and its ability to regulate with ease. I believe healing begins not with force, but with restoring rhythm: how we eat, sleep, move, and respond to stress.
I work with patients over time through structured, supportive care pathways that create space for deeper understanding, steady progress, and sustainable change. My role is integrative and collaborative—I provide naturopathic support alongside conventional care when needed, helping patients reconnect with their physiology and build trust in their body’s signals.
My approach weaves together nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle and rhythm-based guidance, homeopathy, and supportive hormone and metabolic care. Each plan is individualized and paced to the person in front of me, honoring both the science of physiology and the lived experience of healing.
At the heart of my work is a desire to serve my community with clarity, compassion, and integrity. I am known for creating a calm, supportive space where people feel heard, respected, and empowered to participate actively in their own healing.
Outside the clinic, I am a mother and grandmother who finds grounding and joy in time with family, coastal living, backpacking, golfing, and cooking. These rhythms inform my belief that health is not something to be perfected, but something to be lived—steadily, meaningfully, and in relationship.
