I have a master's degree in medical science from Emory University's Physician Assistant program, and received my functional medicine certification from the Institute for Functional Medicine. I'm passionate about helping people advocate for themselves, learn about the root cause of their illnesses, and achieve their best health possible.

My Approach to Care
I used to care for people in the ER on their worst days, often treating chronic illnesses. Today, I work closely with my patients to help them understand the root causes of their illness, treat their conditions, and keep them healthy and out of the ER. Each person is unique and has their own story. Their entire life led them to this point and I want to help people understand their health challenges. I meet patients where they are in their journey and help create a specialized plan tailored to them to achieve optimal wellness.
