About Me
I'm a licensed naturopathic doctor with a deep-rooted passion for both science and nature. I founded Foothills Naturopathic Health Clinic, LLC in 2022 to provide compassionate, evidence-informed care to individuals and families in my community.
​
My path to naturopathic medicine was inspired by my academic background in ecology, a lifelong love of the natural world, and my own experiences with chronic health challenges. These personal and professional experiences fuel my curiosity and commitment to whole-person care.
​
I view health as an interconnected ecosystem; one that is shaped by physical, emotional, environmental, and social factors. Naturopathic medicine allows me to explore these complexities with my patients, supporting them through individualized care that reflects both current research and traditional healing wisdom. I'm especially passionate about helping people understand the ways in which we can influence our own health and the health of the communities in which we live.

I strive to bring this enthusiasm into every patient appointment, helping patients understand their health and feel empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes. Having often felt disempowered during the early stages of my own health journey, I deeply recognize the healing that comes from putting knowledge and agency back into the hands of the patient. I'm here to guide and support, but I know it's the patient who does the real, courageous work of healing, and I feel incredibly fortunate to walk alongside them on that path.
​
My clinical approach is science-based, heart-centered, and patient-first, always striving to create a welcoming and collaborative space for healing. I continually engage with the latest research to help identify safe, sustainable, and accessible treatment options tailored to each individual, meeting patients where they are in their health journey.
​
When I’m not in the office, you can find me outdoors exploring nature, tending the garden, snuggled up with a good book, or working on a small homestead with my partner, our cats, bunny, and a lively flock of sheep.
