I am a dedicated naturopathic doctor with a deep-rooted passion for natural healing. The journey towards embracing naturopathy began in my 20s, fueled by an enduring dream to become a doctor, a vision that took root in 6th grade. My inspiration stemmed from observing my father, an internal medicine doctor renowned for his meticulous care and warm bedside manner. Growing up in a small town in Vermont, I admired how he formed lasting relationships with patients across generations, always prioritizing their well-being, even if it meant running behind schedule.

​

However, as much as I respected traditional medicine, my aspirations leaned towards a path less traveled. The idea of solely relying on pharmaceuticals throughout my medical career didn’t resonate with my vision of healing. I believed in the value and place for prescription medication, and still do today, but I was more curious and captivated by the power of natural remedies and sought to explore alternative healing methods that aligned more closely with my philosophy.

​

This quest for holistic knowledge led me to first become a Certified Herbalist, then a Certified Yoga Instructor and then to a significant turning point in my early 40s where I embarked upon an academic journey at the Southwest College of Natural Medicine in Tempe, Arizona. In 2016 I earned my Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine. This accomplishment not only marked the beginning of my professional transformation but also reinforced my identity as a healer and perpetual student of natural medicine.

 

Today, I stand proud as an accomplished, dedicated doctor in the field of naturopathic medicine, but more importantly, as a compassionate healer who continues to learn and evolve. My approach to healing is rooted in the wisdom passed down from my father, from the ongoing support from my mother, an educator and caregiver, and from my firm belief in the efficacy of natural, holistic treatments. I am committed to providing my clients with a unique blend of traditional and natural care and fostering a nurturing and safe environment for healing.
