As a nurse practitioner since 2009, I specialize in improving the health and wellness of children and young adults – up to age 21 - with chronic pain, migraine headaches, digestive disorders such as SIBO (small bowel intestinal overgrowth) and IBS (irritable
bowel syndrome), and mental health conditions.

I believe healing and long-term wellness begin with partnership. I value collaborating with patients and families to create personalized care plans. By fostering a space where they feel heard, supported, and empowered, we can achieve lasting improvements in overall health.

In addition to practicing conventional medicine, I hold a certification in functional medicine (CFMP) and have advanced training in integrative medicine, including botanical medicine, nutraceuticals, and lab testing.

I am also the region’s only auriculotherapy practitioner, offering this non-invasive, research-supported technique to both adult and pediatric patients. Auriculotherapy stimulates specific pressure points on the ear, each linked to different areas and functions of the body. Stimulating these points with gentle electrical impulses and
acupressure beads (commonly known as ear seeds) activates nerves, including the vagus nerve, to support the body’s natural healing processes. It’s effective for stress, pain, migraines, digestive issues, addiction recovery, weight management, and more. I also contribute to national research as a consultant for an NIH-funded auriculotherapy study and teach the technique to practitioners across the country.

By combining conventional medicine with integrative and functional approaches, I offer a unique, evidence-based, holistic model of care that blends the best of modern and natural medicine.

Outside of work, I enjoy supporting my kids in their activities, unwinding with Netflix alongside my husband, singing along to Taylor Swift and Twenty One Pilots, and staying active through yoga and Peloton workouts.
