Throughout my life I have witnessed firsthand the incredible healing power of naturopathic medicine and it was this experience that was the driving force for me to become a licensed Naturopathic Doctor.

In my practices I integrate the art and science of medicine, as I use the core naturopathic treatment modalities while holding a specific interest in the treatment of food sensitivities and digestive concerns. At Balance Integrative Health I will be solely focused on providing IV therapy to patients for a wide range of concerns including immune support, vitamin boost, and eye health.

I love educating and sharing my knowledge with not only my patients, but with the community as well through leading talks at various local businesses, teaching the 8 week Life Watchers program at Goodness Me! and by writing health articles.

It is my goal to provide a comprehensive and supportive approach to health care, while treating each patient with compassion and empathy.

I am passionate about naturopathic medicine and look forward to assisting you in achieving your health goals.
