I am a licensed naturopathic doctor and graduate of Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA.
I’ve always been fascinated by how the human body works and became interested in pursuing a medical career as a teenager. I learned about naturopathic medicine during my undergraduate studies at Bastyr University where I completed my bachelor of science degree in botanical medicine. I appreciated that botanical medicine could be accessible to everyone and allowed people to take care of themselves and their loved ones.
I was drawn to naturopathic medicine because the concepts of prevention, treating the whole person, and looking for the underlying cause of disease instead of suppressing symptoms made sense to me as a better way to make a lasting difference in the lives of others. I enjoy learning about health and sharing my knowledge with people so they feel empowered rather than confused or frustrated. Naturopathic medicine is a cause I believe in and I think people are looking for a different way than what's offered by our current health care system.
My approach to helping my patients involves taking their lifestyle, diet, and emotional health into consideration because these aspects of a person’s life contribute to their health and wellbeing. My individualized treatment plans include utilizing botanical medicine, vitamin and mineral supplementation, homeopathy, nutritional and lifestyle counseling, and hydrotherapy with a focus on preventive medicine.
My clinical interests include thyroid disease, autoimmune diseases, anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and digestive disorders.
I grew up in Port Angeles, WA and reside in Kent, WA.
