My path to functional medicine was shaped by my own health journey. For years, I navigated daily headaches alongside mold exposure, Lyme disease, and chronic UTI and interstitial cystitis symptoms and was repeatedly told that some people simply live with these things. I couldn’t accept that answer. That experience drove me to look deeper, and it fundamentally changed how I approach patient care.

In my practice, I have a special interest in chronic UTI and interstitial cystitis, though what guides every appointment is a commitment to slowing down and truly listening. Many of the patients I work with have spent years feeling dismissed or rushed, and I believe that creating space for them to feel genuinely heard is the foundation of effective care.
I also believe strongly in simplicity. Health can become overwhelming very quickly, and in my experience, meaningful progress comes from breaking things down into small, sustainable steps, not from trying to address everything at once.
