My purpose is to provide service to anyone that is motivated to heal. I believe that we are given the incredible potential to overcome any health obstacles if we have the right tools and information. Therefore, I am able to see patients with a variety of symptoms and diagnosis. By treating everyone as an individual, we are able to achieve lasting results and empowerment. The answers are out there and my job is to work tirelessly to find them for you, as a unique individual.

I strive to help people feel better and live better. My care looks beyond symptoms and toward the root of the illness. I treat patients, not simply diseases. I offer safe, effective, and natural therapies for restoring health and optimizing wellness.

I'm a Licensed Naturopathic Doctor and Board Certified in Biofeedback. I practice based on Naturopathic Medicine's foundational principles and Functional Medicine's systematic approach to address your health concerns. I help to facilitate your own body's healing mechanism through understanding and addressing the root cause. I want this to be a mutually participatory process between us. I will be supporting you throughout your journey because together is always better and together is necessary. What I want for you is more than just absence of disease. I want you to cultivate resiliency -- resilience of the body and mind.

I received my doctorate in naturopathic medicine from The Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in 2011. Studying at BINM provided me with the opportunity to be exposed to a variety of specialty treatments, including the use of ozone, prolotherapy and IV therapies. In addition, I had the privilege of receiving formal medical training in oncology by Dr. Neil McKinney, one of the leading naturopathic doctors in naturopathic oncology. In 2012, I joined Synergy Natural Medicine Clinic in Monrovia, CA, to become a specialist in naturopathic oncology. In March, 2016, I redesigned a small clinic and we have been growing ever since!
