BIOGRAPHY

I have spent over two decades caring for oncology patients beginning my career in pediatric cancer, then moving on to adult cancer care and prevention.  My work as a healthcare provider has shown me just how dysfunctional our conventional healthcare system is.  My passion for caring and healing lead me to a desire to explore alternative modalities for healing and overall wellness, setting aside the conventional mind-set of the medical establishment where problems are not addressed, but instead, merely concealed with the latest prescription.  

One thing I have learned is that everyone has a story, and no two stories are exactly alike. This is one of the things I love most about my job!  I enjoy spending time with patients and addressing their concerns from a holistic standpoint.  It is not just about the body, but also the mind and spirit.  I am dedicated to helping others feel empowered to take control of their health, and be their best, most vital selves.  

Conventional medicine is symptomatic care, whereas Functional Medicine is corrective care.  

Our mission is addressing the root cause of a symptom rather than just "treating" the symptom.
