Why I became a Naturopathic Doctor?

Growing up, I always knew I wanted to be a doctor. After finishing my undergraduate studies in a pharmaceutical research program, I realized that the path of natural medicine made more sense for me. Seeing close family members suffer from preventable diseases was a big wake up call. The principles of naturopathic medicine resonated deeply and I practice them daily with patients, empowering them to find healing. I love that this medicine allows me to really spend time with patients, hearing everything they have to say and putting together tailored, personalized protocols. Practicing root-cause medicine is incredibly rewarding.

What conditions I love to treat?
Hormonal concerns (women’s and men’s hormones, thyroid and adrenal) digestive issues (IBS, IBD, SIBO), autoimmune disease
