She went to medical school because she knew the lifesaving value of traditional medicine, but she quickly learned that if you have a chronic illness, it is a different story. She saw a pill for every symptom given by multiple physicians, each working from their own view of the problem but with no attention to the potential underlying causes of the symptoms.

She always knew there was more to medicine than pills and procedures and now focuses on patients with chronic illnesses. She utilizes the functional medicine principle of searching out root causes of imbalance and shifting patients from unwell to well at a deeper and more lasting level. In addition to board certification in Family Medicine, she also is board certified in integrative medicine (ABOIM). She also has extensive additional training in functional medicine, mold illness, and Lyme disease. She is in an ongoing mentorship with Dr. Neil Nathan and Dr. Jill Christa focusing on environmentally acquired illness and has trained with Dr. Tom Moorcroft on the treatment of Lyme disease.
