Most practitioners treat the body or the mind—I work with both.
Root-cause medicine meets emotional resilience.
My approach blends Functional Medicine with Compassionate Inquiry to address the full picture of your health—so you can finally understand what's going on, why it's happening, and how to change it for good.
Conditions & Challenges I Work With
I work with people facing a wide range of challenges, including:
Low energy, fatigue, or burnout
Anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or frequent reactivity
Trouble losing weight or unexplained weight gain
Hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, or fertility challenges
Gut symptoms like bloating, food sensitivities, or IBS
Autoimmune or inflammatory conditions
Brain fog, low motivation, or difficulty focusing
A deep knowing that something's off—even if labs or doctors say everything is "normal"
Repeating emotional patterns or relationship struggles that don't make sense
People who know what's good for them—but still can't make the changes they need
Longevity and health optimization seekers who want to take proactive ownership of their wellbeing
Whatever brings you here, we'll start by getting curious—about your symptoms, your story, and your experience.
Then we'll begin to uncover what's been driving your health challenges, patterns and behaviors and how to implement lasting change.
What I Offer
I help people heal by addressing the root causes of both physical and emotional challenges—through a deeply personalized approach grounded in science, compassion, and practical change.
You can work with me in one of three ways, depending on your needs and where you are in your journey:
Functional Medicine
Root-cause medical care using systems biology, advanced diagnostics, and personalized nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle strategies to address complex physical symptoms and chronic conditions.
Compassionate Inquiry
A therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that gently uncovers the unconscious beliefs, emotional patterns, and past experiences driving your current behaviors, symptoms, and inner state.
Integrated Mind-Body Medicine
My signature offering—a fully integrated process that combines Functional Medicine and Compassionate Inquiry. We address both physical and emotional root causes at the same time, so healing is deep, aligned, and sustainable.
Whether you're looking to work with one approach or combine them, I'll meet you where you are—and guide you toward meaningful, lasting change.
What You Can Expect
My approach is designed to create lasting change—not just short-term symptom relief.
Understand the root causes behind your physical and/or emotional symptoms
Feel better in your body—stronger, healthier, and more energized
Improve how you manage stress and learn what your body actually needs
Feel more clarity, calm, and confidence in your body and your choices
Begin to break long-standing patterns—in health, behavior, and relationships
Learn how to interpret what your body and emotions are trying to tell you
Make real changes in your lifestyle, habits, and inner world—without perfectionism
Build a relationship with yourself that's based on honesty, compassion, and agency
This is not a one-size-fits-all program.
I'll meet you where you are, and guide you forward with science, structure, and care.
What Makes This Different
Most practitioners specialize in either physical health or emotional healing.
I integrate both—bringing together advanced clinical insight and deep inner work.
I blend Functional Medicine and Compassionate Inquiry into a single, personalized healing process
I approach complex health issues through systems biology—not symptom suppression
I've trained in both medicine and Compassionate Inquiry, and I've done (and continue to do) the inner work myself
I speak human, not jargon—so you can actually understand your health and take action
I listen for patterns—physiological and emotional—that others might miss
I guide you through change with empathy, clarity, and structure
This is root-cause healing, grounded in science and shaped by real human understanding.
About Me
I'm a Physician Associate trained in Functional Medicine by the Institute for Functional Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, and currently completing Advanced Training in Compassionate Inquiry with Dr. Gabor Maté.
I created this practice to offer the kind of care I wish more people had access to—an approach that's scientifically rigorous, emotionally attuned, and grounded in experience.
I've spent years studying root-cause medicine and systems biology—and just as many years turning inward, learning how our bodies carry and express what hasn't yet healed.
My strength lies in pattern recognition—both clinical and emotional—and in translating complex information into clear, compassionate guidance that helps people make real change.

Compassionate Inquiry is a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté. It helps uncover and gently work through emotional patterns and unconscious beliefs that influence your physical health, behaviors, and relationships.
What kinds of conditions do you work with?
I work with a wide range of physical and emotional challenges—including fatigue, anxiety, hormone imbalance, gut issues, autoimmune conditions, trauma patterns, and more.
