About me

The daughter of a chiropractor and a naturopath, I have been studying and living in the way of naturopathic medicine for my entire life. This exposure to medicine that treats the whole person has been peppered with experience in the hard sciences and training as a clinical researcher, which has provided a foundation for providing the best of evidence-based care. My clinical education and residency focused on mental health and primary care with additional training in women’s health, musculoskeletal health, and other modalities unique to naturopathic medicine.

I enjoy working with all patients but especially gravitate toward care for underserved and marginalized communities such as the LGBTQIA+ community, highly-sensitive and neurodiverse individuals, and people in bigger bodies. As a person in a bigger body myself, I am dedicated to providing trauma-informed care to patients in bodies of all shapes and sizes, knowing intrinsically that they are worthy of excellent medical care and striving to provide a safe environment for them.

Where I really shine is in building strong, personal relationships with my patients. We laugh, cry, and enjoy time together that is healing in its own right. I believe that medicine is more than just test results and treatment plans – we only have one life and should be able to build community, access embodiment, and experience true care and compassion. It is an incredible gift to be able to work with people in the vulnerable space of their healthcare.
