My early college studies in psychology planted the seed for exploring how the body and mind affect health. How do our bodies connect with thought and emotion? I attended medical school because I saw how behavior powerfully influences health and wellness.

Although I traveled the path of conventional medicine, I turned to integrative and holistic healing to tend to my own health during medical training. Forms of healing like acupuncture, therapy, and plant medicine helped me appreciate that we are more than the sum of our parts. Now, herbalism rooted in the Wise Woman Tradition of Healing, Sacred Plant Medicine, and Mind-Body Medicine are all essential tools that I use when working with patients and clients.

An important part of connecting to my whole self was tuning into my menstrual cycle. Growing up, I often ignored it. My doctor prescribed me the pill when I had an unplanned pregnancy at age 16. After several years of challenges with different forms of conventional contraception, I started researching and listening to my body. I learned to appreciate my own cycle, leading me to promote more embodied reproductive and general health for my patients. Becoming a mother has motivated me even more in caring for women, especially throughout postpartum and matrescence.

Over the years I have witnessed how our emotional health and well being is interwoven with our physical health. For this reason, I participate in continuing education centered around mental and emotional health. I am passionate about the use of psychedelic medicine to assist healing. I am a trained facilitator of Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).
