About

Welcome to Emerald Restorative Health & Wellness!

I started my functional medicine practice because I believe people deserve more than quick fixes and symptom management. Too often, patients are told “everything is normal”, and that fatigue, weight gain, and hormonal deficiencies are “just part of aging.” If you find these statements to be unacceptable, then you’re in the right place.

As a board-certified Nurse Practitioner, I became increasingly disillusioned with the limitations of conventional medicine—the rushed appointments, the endless charting, and the inability to make a lasting impact on my patients’ health.

That all changed when I discovered the transformative power of functional medicine. Witnessing my patients experience remarkable improvements simply by addressing the root cause of their symptoms ignited a fire within me. Finally, I had found the path that aligned my purpose with my passion for healing.

What followed was an intensive journey into functional medicine training. I was determined to gain the expertise needed to empower my patients to take control of their health and achieve optimal wellness. Leaving the security of my full-time job, I took a leap of faith to open my own practice. It hasn’t been easy, but the joy of helping patients overcome chronic conditions and reclaim their vitality has made every obstacle worth it.

Today, I am passionate about sharing the functional medicine approach with men and women navigating the hormonal shifts of midlife. As a woman in my mid-40s, I understand firsthand the challenges of weight gain, fatigue, and that nagging sense of disconnect from the vibrant self you once knew. But I also know how to restore that vitality—through a holistic, personalized plan that works with your body, not against it.

When new patients come to me, I explain that my role is to uncover the underlying imbalances impacting their health. Through comprehensive testing, we gain a clear picture of your body’s unique needs. From there, we create a customized plan focused on restoring gut health, optimizing hormones, reducing toxins and inflammation, and nourishing your body with the right nutrients and lifestyle strategies.

The transformations I witness are nothing short of remarkable—patients regaining their energy, shedding stubborn weight, and rediscovering a deep sense of joy and purpose that had eluded them for years. These changes fuel my vision for the future of healthcare: one where functional medicine is the standard, empowering individuals to prevent disease and cultivate lifelong health and wellness.

I believe every person deserves more than what conventional medicine often provides. You deserve time, attention, and a true partnership in your care. That’s why I take a deep dive into every patient’s story, crafting personalized care plans that address the whole picture. My approach is about healing from the inside out, reversing chronic disease, and, when possible, reducing or eliminating dependence on prescription medications.

If you’re ready to step into the next chapter of life feeling stronger, sharper, and more alive than ever before, I invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation. Together, we’ll uncover the root causes holding you back and create a clear path toward lasting vitality, longevity, and joy.

I am deeply invested in my patients’ well-being and dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes. My mission is not only to help you feel better today but to empower you with the knowledge and tools to maintain your best health for years to come.
