Why I Practice This Way

I believe healing begins with presence.

In a world moving fast, I choose to slow down—to listen, connect, and understand each person beyond their diagnosis.

My approach integrates traditional family medicine with grounded, science-based mindfulness and healing practices. When needed, I work in collaboration with complementary practices such as sound healing, breathwork, and reflective dialogue to support your healing journey.

This space exists not just to treat illness, but to accompany your journey toward alignment, energy, and clarity.

My Background

With over 30 years of experience in family medicine, I've witnessed firsthand the limitations of treating symptoms without addressing the whole person. My journey led me to explore integrative approaches that honor the connection between mind, body, and spirit.

I hold certifications in mindfulness-based stress reduction and have completed advanced training in functional medicine, allowing me to bridge conventional healthcare with evidence-based holistic practices.

My Commitment

Every patient deserves to be truly seen and heard. I commit to:

  • Taking the time needed for comprehensive care
  • Listening deeply to your concerns and experiences
  • Developing personalized treatment plans that respect your values
  • Empowering you with knowledge and tools for self-healing
  • Creating a safe, judgment-free space for your healthcare journey

"True healing happens when we address not just the physical symptoms, but the whole person in their unique context."
