Welcome, I am glad you found your way here.
If you have just come from my story on the home page, you already know a little of the road that brought me to this work.
This page is where you get to meet the practitioner who shaped the road.
What you will find here is not a list of credentials for their own sake. It is an honest picture of how I work, what I bring, and why I believe that the most profound healing happens when science and story are held together rather than kept apart.
If something here speaks to something in you, you know where to find me.
This is the work I offer:
Functional nutrition · Hormonal health · CPNI · Trauma-informed support · Verbal processing & Thinking partnership · Functional blood chemistry · Women's health & Life transitions
Some people come to me with lab results they don't understand. Some come with a body that stopped making sense. Some come because they've tried everything, yet something still feels missing.
All of them leave with more than answers. They leave with a different relationship with themselves.
I work at the intersection of science and myth, where functional blood chemistry meets the nervous system, where immunology meets the psyche, where the story your body is telling finally gets translated into language you can act on.
My practice is grounded in Clinical Psychoneuroimmunology (CPNI). It is a field I care about so deeply that I am currently pursuing it at the master's level.
This is a field that sits at the meeting point of psychology, neuroscience, immunology, endocrinology, epigenetics, evolutionary biology, and behavioural medicine.
In plain terms, I look at how your biography shapes your biology, and explore where the communication between your body systems has become disrupted or lost its way.
But my curiosity has always stretched beyond the clinical.
Psychology, spirituality, shamanism and transcultural healing traditions have been lifelong companions, each offering a different lens through which to understand the body, the soul, and the relationship between the two. Where ancient knowing meets modern medicine. This wisdom lives alongside my scientific training and genuinely informs how I see and hold the people I work with.
And then there is the work that perhaps matters most:
I listen.
I reflect back. I ask the question that opens the door. I hold the space where things that have been circling finally land. Many of the people I work with describe our sessions as the place where they finally heard themselves clearly, where something shifted, not because I gave them an answer, but because I helped them find their own.
This is verbal processing as medicine. A thinking partnership. A sounding board held by someone with over a decade of clinical insight, lived experience, and a deep understanding of what it means to carry complexity in a human body.
If you are ready to be truly heard and to understand what your body, mind, and history have been trying to tell you, this is where you begin.
I look forward to meeting you, hearing your story, and walking alongside you on whatever comes next. You are in the right place.
