I became a physician because I believed in the remarkable capacity of the human body and mind to heal.

For more than a decade, I've worked alongside people navigating chronic illness, trauma, chronic pain, addiction, grief, and major life transitions. My early career in tribal health taught me that healing is deeply rooted in relationship, culture, and community. As my practice evolved, I became increasingly drawn to the ways trauma lives in the nervous system and how compassionate, body-centered approaches can help people reconnect with themselves.

Then, life asked me to become more than a physician.

After being diagnosed with colorectal cancer, I experienced medicine from the other side of the exam room. What began as Stage I cancer unexpectedly progressed to Stage IV disease with liver metastases. I underwent chemotherapy, a major liver resection, colorectal surgery, and months of recovery while confronting uncertainty, grief, and mortality.

Against all odds, I currently have no evidence of active disease after Stage IV colon cancer.

That journey transformed not only my life but also my understanding of healing. I came to realize that surviving is only the beginning. Real healing often involves rebuilding our relationship with ourselves, our bodies, our loved ones, and our sense of purpose.

My own recovery led me deeper into Brainspotting, nervous system healing, psychedelic integration, and post-traumatic growth. These experiences reinforced what I had witnessed throughout my medical career: when people feel safe enough to process what has been held in the body, profound transformation becomes possible.

Today, my practice is dedicated to helping people navigate trauma, life transitions, grief, chronic illness, cancer survivorship, and psychedelic preparation and integration through a compassionate, neuroscience-informed approach. I integrate Brainspotting, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and evidence-informed integrative medicine to support each person's unique healing process.

In addition to my clinical work, I volunteer as a guide with Warrior PATHH, supporting veterans and first responders recovering from trauma. I am also passionate about serving members of the LGBTQIA+ community, healthcare professionals, caregivers, and individuals seeking deeper meaning after life-changing experiences.

Whether you are healing from trauma, recovering from illness, preparing for a psychedelic experience, or simply searching for a new way forward, my hope is to provide a space where you feel deeply seen, genuinely understood, and supported in becoming the fullest expression of yourself.

I don't believe healing means returning to who you were before.

I believe healing is discovering who you are becoming.
