I hope to bridge this gap by providing holistic, individualized care, and adopting healing strategies that are patient centered and evidence-based. My two year Integrative Medicine fellowship, as well as my experience as a physician who has partnered with many cancer patients for supportive wellness, has made me appreciate the impact a holistic approach on not just how patients adapt to their diagnoses and therapies, but also how hard clinical endpoints can be positively affected.

I'm passionate about: getting patients involved in their care and health. When decisions are made about a treatment, whether it involves a diet or lifestyle change, a nutritional supplement, or a medication, I want patients to understand why it has been recommended and proceed with their full support. To me, a key part of practicing medicine is establishing a connection with each patient and trying to help in ways that make sense to them.

Practice philosophy: As an integrative nutritionist, I use "a food as medicine" approach to help people achieve improved health. Whether for general health, or disease prevention or management, I can meet you where you are to work on large or small dietary and lifestyle changes and goal setting.
Best part of my work: Through my experiences with functional and integrative nutrition, I find that patients are much more engaged and excited about taking control of their health.
Why I became a provider: I became an integrative nutritionist because even though I ate healthy and exercised on a regular basis, I still didn't feel that I had great health. After doing more research and finding other like-minded health professionals, I found whole foods and specific supplementation helped me to have more energy, sleep better and have mental clarity. In addition, I have a close family member with ADHD who has been helped greatly through dietary changes, nutrition supplementation, and working with an integrative pediatrician.
