I am board-certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner with Full Practice Authority, focusing on weight loss, hormonal balance, thyroid optimization, and metabolic health.

For the past three years, I’ve run my Functional Medicine Clinic, specializing in weight loss, thyroid management, gut health, inflammation reduction, and hormone optimization. My certifications include:
- Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
- Peptide Therapy
- Board Certification from the Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) in weight loss, functional medicine, anti-aging, regenerative medicine, and hormone therapy
- Advanced training from The School of Applied Functional Medicine and The Institute of Functional Medicine.

I also offer lifestyle programs on nutrition, stress management, sleep, and fasting.

I look forward to partnering with you on your health journey!
