Important Update: As of October 21, 2025, I’ll be seeing patients at Meliora Clinic, 350 SE Mill St, Portland. Call (971) 220-2759 to schedule!

Being a doctor is more than a job to me—it’s a calling rooted in relationship. I genuinely enjoy partnering with my patients on their unique health journeys. My approach is integrative, combining tools from pharmaceuticals and diagnostics to herbal medicine, nutrition, and acupuncture. This allows you to take an active, empowered role in your care as we choose what works best for your body, lifestyle, and values.

My Approach

In my practice, I listen deeply—without judgment. I collaborate with my patients to explore what changes feel within reach, where growth is possible, and when it’s time to honor the need for rest. I aim to be a steady ally in your health and personal evolution. Above all, I will meet you where you are and support you fully on your healing path.

 

How I Practice

I don’t just treat symptoms—I partner with you to understand why they’re showing up. Your story is essential to this process, because no two people are exactly alike. We’ll unravel your health history together, identify patterns, and uncover what’s uniquely affecting you. This is the heart of integrative, root-cause medicine—and a key difference from the conventional medical model. If you’re ready to actively engage in your healing journey, I’m here to walk beside you.

My Training

I earned my doctorate in naturopathic medicine and masters of science in Oriental medicine at the National University of Natural Medicine (https://nunm.edu/) in Portland, Oregon. My additional training includes a 2 month clinical rotation in India, a 2 year certificate in classical homeopathy, a 6 month certificate in the treatment of fertility according to classical chinese medicine, a 6 month internship in biotherapeutic drainage, a 1 year internship in 5 Element acupuncture, and a 1 year naturopathic internship in women’s health.

If this approach resonates with you, I’d love to support your journey.
