About Me
I am a licensed Naturopathic Physician with over 10 years of experience in practice. My fascination with the human body led me to graduate from Simon Fraser University with a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, followed by my medical training at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine-Boucher Campus.
Prior to becoming an ND, I served as an Ergonomic Engineering Consultant, traveling across North America and Europe to assess industrial facilities and help reduce workplace injuries. While it was a rewarding career, I knew I wanted to do more to support people and optimize their health.
My patient care philosophy is to listen first and create a safe place for people to share what they would like support with. I strive to find the root cause of a problem, and I always try to teach my patients something new to ensure they know the “why” behind their treatment plan. I am easy-going, down-to-earth, and I view myself as one part of your health team, collaborating with other professionals to help you achieve your health goals.
Specialties
I work well with a variety of populations but tend to gravitate toward women between the ages of 16 and 60. As a newer mom, I truly understand all the “hats” we wear and how that affects our mental and physical health. My approach of being open, non-judgmental, and calm creates a conversation where I trust my patients as the experts of their own bodies, while I act as a guide for the issues they are trying to resolve.
I am passionate about treating digestive disorders, supporting women through hormonal changes, and managing adrenal fatigue. During medical school, I also had the amazing experience of providing free Naturopathic care to residents on Ometepe Island in Nicaragua with Naturopathic Doctors International (NDI). Most often, my patients describe my care as “calming and caring”—words I strive to live up to by ensuring everyone feels heard.

Outside the Clinic
Born and raised in Canada, I lived in British Columbia until recently moving to Washington State. I grew up playing sports, including basketball, floor hockey, and fastpitch softball. These days, you will find me with my family chasing my two girls around. I am an avid sports fan, I love music and attending live concerts, and I always enjoy traveling to see new places.
