About me
Since the age of 4, I knew I would be a physician.
I just did not know exactly how that journey would play out. As a pre-med student at the University of Michigan, I was working in the university hospital observing a model of medicine which felt like it was based on managing diseases rather than asking the question “why”. At the same time, I began being curious about more gentle ways to support the body in its innate ability to heal itself. These two paths intersected in the discovery of integrative medicine.
I deeply believe in working as a team with my patients to meet them where they are and finding the gentlest means possible to treat the cause of the disease, not simply symptoms.
My paradigm
I practice integrative family medicine. What does this mean?
- I use the gentlest medicine with the least harm.
- I search for and treat the root cause of disease rather than chasing symptoms.
- I believe in removing the obstacle to vitality rather than minimizing symptoms of the blockage.
- I honor the patient’s inner knowing of themselves and their autonomy and sovereignty in medical decision-making. We work as a team, not a hierarchy.
- I practice individualized medicine. As human beings, we all have a unique blueprint, we all get sick in unique ways and require treatment plans to match that.
- I believe in an approach to medicine that integrates both western and Naturopathic medicine and celebrates what each has to offer.
