Some of the most important lessons a physician can learn about health emerge from the experience of being a patient. I’m a Doctor of Osteopathy and a Board Certified Family Physician, but it’s really the experience of facing a major illness and taking control of my own health that has most impacted the way I practice medicine today. Through my own journey in navigating the health care system, I’ve become committed to creating opportunities for my patients to make empowered and informed decisions about their own health. After all, nobody knows your body like you do.
My mission is to help patients understand their unique physiology, unlock the root causes of disease, and set the body up to heal itself in the most effective way possible.
As an Osteopathic Physician, I truly believe in the body’s innate and remarkable ability to heal itself. But we can’t get there in a fifteen minute office visit and one solution (or prescription) does not fit all. Instead, my approach to care involves taking the time to guide you in fully understanding your body and its specific requirements at every stage of life.
I want to explore why disease has developed, what steps must be taken to restore your health, and how we can prevent it in the first place. It’s a new and truly transformative approach to medicine - and I’m proud to have dedicated my life to it.
Hormonal health is about finding the balance. We use advanced diagnostic tools to identify hormone imbalances, and personalized, lifestyle-based treatment techniques to return the body to its natural homeostasis. A balanced body supports optimal metabolic and immune health, as well as fertility and reproductive wellness.
Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual; holistic care and Functional Medicine takes into consideration every factor involved in whole-person wellness. Our approach is comprehensive, and searches for the root cause of your symptoms, so we can better detect, treat, and prevent chronic conditions.
Nourishing the body during cancer recovery requires an approach tailored to meet your individualized needs. Oncology nutrition provides strategies and recommendations for everything from preventing cancer (particularly for those with high risk factors for specific cancers), to symptom management, and maintaining a healthy diet through the treatment process and beyond.
The needs of our bodies evolve as we age - which is why it's crucial that our diet, physical activity, and hormone support strategies evolve with us. We provide expert care to individuals of all ages, making personalized, preventative recommendations that encourage peak health and total longevity.
Health care can be stressful and confusing. I understand that. I've been in yours shoes; sick, scared, unsure of how to move forward and where to even start on the road to feeling better again. I started by asking one big question:
WHY? Why did I end up here, and what can I do about it?
Asking that single, enormous question has changed my practice and my life.
A traditional doctor's job is to identify and prescribe, the same formula for every patient and every disease. That's not what I'm here to do. I want to explore why disease happens, what we can do to navigate our way back to health, and understand how to prevent it in the first place.
We need to get to the root cause of your disease and how we can reclaim your health through a better understanding of your unique symptoms and your own individual body.
Understanding that every body is different is the key to unlocking the root cause of diseases and beginning the process of setting your body up to heal itself in the most effective way possible.
I'm a Board Certified Family Medicine physician with a subspecialty certification in Hormone Optimization. I'm a Doctor of Osteopathy with a holistic perspective and a strong commitment to treating the whole person, not just a collection of symptoms.
