""Functional medicine is about more than fixing what’s wrong—it’s about understanding why it went wrong in the first place. As a Nurse Practitioner, my role isn’t to rush you in and out with a prescription. It’s to listen, to connect the dots, and to help you feel truly seen, heard, and
well. You deserve care that looks deeper."
My team and I work with patients to align gut, mind, and hormone health. When we strengthen the whole body, the results are real.”
