With nearly two decades of dedicated service in healthcare, my journey began in the high-stress, fast-paced environment of emergency services as a Paramedic Firefighter. This hands-on experience at the frontline of critical care provided me with invaluable insights into the immediate and essential needs of patients, teaching me the significance of timely interventions and the profound impact of human touch.

Transitioning into the realm of functional medicine 12 years ago, my approach underwent a transformative shift. Rather than solely treating symptoms, I delved deep into the intricate web of physiological, biochemical, and emotional factors that play a role in health and well-being. By adopting this holistic outlook, I've dedicated my practice to not just treat, but to find the underlying 'why' or root cause of each ailment.

My philosophy is rooted in the principle of patient empowerment. Medicine, in my eyes, is not just about treating or managing conditions but is a collaborative journey between the practitioner and the patient. The ultimate goal is not just to restore optimal health but to enlighten and empower each individual. By imparting foundational principles of health and wellness, I strive to equip my patients with the knowledge and tools they need to maintain and enhance their well-being long after they leave my care.

Bridging the worlds of conventional and functional medicine, I bring forth a unique perspective that is both comprehensive and individualized. My commitment is to see and treat each person as a unique entity, understanding their personal history, experiences, and aspirations, thereby crafting a path to wellness that is as unique as they are.
