I am a naturopathic medical doctor with a primary focus on women’s health and fertility, and homeopathy is the foundation of how I practice medicine. At Nourish, my vision has always been to create a space that feels warm, grounded, and restorative — a place where you can truly heal, inside and out.

I believe the body has an extraordinary capacity to heal when given the right stimulus and support. My work centers on identifying and addressing the deeper imbalance beneath symptoms so that patients can return to themselves — physically, emotionally, and energetically. When we remove the obstacle to cure and restore balance, we don’t just feel “less sick.” We become more fully ourselves — more present partners, parents, leaders, and contributors to the world around us.

My passion for this work began during medical school at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (now Sonoran University of Health Sciences), where I first immersed myself in the study of homeopathy. Under the mentorship of Dr. Stephen Messer, I witnessed what true healing could look like — not just the resolution of disease, but patients reconnecting with joy, creativity, vitality, and purpose. That experience shaped the way I practice medicine to this day.

After completing my medical degree, I pursued a family practice residency, followed by a second-year homeopathy-based residency under Dr. Messer — the first program of its kind in the United States. I later served as adjunct faculty and have continued to contribute to homeopathic education and research, including participation in clinical research on homeopathic treatment approaches.

Over the years, my practice naturally evolved toward women’s health, particularly fertility, perimenopause, painful or heavy cycles, PCOS, fatigue, and mood support. Walking alongside women through fertility journeys and hormonal transitions has been one of the most meaningful aspects of my career. Supporting women through fertility is especially meaningful to me, as it is a journey I have personally navigated in becoming a mother. It has shaped both my life and the way I care for my patients.

My commitment to homeopathy is also personal. During medical school, after years of struggling with insomnia, I sought care from a naturopathic doctor who practiced classical homeopathy. With an individualized remedy tailored to me, my lifelong insomnia resolved within one month — and has never returned. That experience solidified my belief in the body’s ability to self-heal when stimulated appropriately.

I founded Nourish Natural Medicine in 2015 to create a practice rooted in this philosophy. Our goal is not simply to replace medications with supplements, but to work at the level of true healing — stimulating the body to restore balance from within.

Outside of medicine, I love cooking and traveling with my husband, spending time with our dogs, practicing yoga, hiking, and constantly learning. I am always reading or listening to a new book or podcast and often share insights from my own growth journey with my patients. Arizona spring is my favorite season — blooming desert air, outdoor yoga, hiking weather, and the energy of renewal.

Healing is possible. It’s my privilege to help guide you toward it.
