I became a naturopathic doctor because I’m fascinated by the body’s ability to heal when given the right support. What excites me most about this work is helping people connect the dots between their symptoms, environment, lifestyle, and emotional well-being; it is very rewarding to watch my patients build real, lasting health from that understanding.

My approach is collaborative and patient-centered. I believe health is a partnership, and I want you to feel empowered to make informed decisions about your care. I love digging into the “why” behind what’s happening in your body, whether that’s immune dysregulation, hormonal imbalance, digestive issues, or chronic fatigue.

Before naturopathic medicine, I worked as a vision therapist, helping children and adults strengthen the brain–vision connection. That experience deepened my appreciation for how interconnected our systems are, and it’s something I carry into every patient interaction.

Right now, I’m continuing to expand my knowledge in immune regulation, autoimmunity, and hormonal health through ongoing education. I’m committed to staying current and evidence-informed so I can offer the best care possible.

Outside of the clinic, I’m happiest outdoors. I grew up on Vancouver Island and love snowboarding, camping, paddle boarding, weightlifting, and snuggling with my cat. I also enjoy experimenting in the kitchen and sharing good food with family and friends.
