Integrative Medicine
Bridging Modern Medicine with Whole-Person Care
for deeper understanding
About me
Double Board-Certified Integrative Medicine Physician
I am a double board-certified physician who began my medical career in general surgery. Over time, my clinical experience revealed the limitations of a system that often excels at acute care but struggles with complexity, chronic illness, and the full context of a patient’s life. That realization led me to make a deliberate shift into integrative medicine.
Today, my work blends conventional medical training with evidence-informed, whole-person care. After residency, I completed a fellowship in integrative medicine, along with additional training in functional medicine and integrative nutrition. I am also a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200), which informs my understanding of movement, breath, and mind–body physiology in clinical practice.
My approach is grounded in curiosity—asking better questions when symptoms persist, diagnoses fall short, or standard frameworks fail to fully explain what is happening in the body. I also have a focused interest in psychedelic medicine as an emerging area of research and clinical inquiry, particularly at the intersection of neuroscience, consciousness, and therapeutic change. Through clinical care, research, and education, my aim is to bridge rigorous medical science with approaches that honor physiology, psychology, and lived experience.
What I Treat
-
I work with patients experiencing complex or chronic symptoms that do not fit neatly into a single diagnosis or have not fully responded to standard treatment. This often includes overlapping conditions, long diagnostic journeys, and patterns involving fatigue, pain, inflammation, or multisystem dysfunction. The focus is on identifying contributing factors and understanding how systems interact over time.
-
Integrative medicine plays an important role in proactive health and long-term resilience. This includes optimizing metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, cognitive health, bone health, and inflammation, as well as supporting healthy aging through lifestyle, nutrition, and targeted interventions grounded in evidence and physiology.
-
I treat a wide range of hormone-related concerns across the lifespan, including thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), perimenopause and menopause (including HRT), metabolic dysfunction, and weight-related concerns. Care focuses on understanding endocrine signaling within the broader context of metabolism, stress physiology, sleep, and lifestyle.
-
Integrative care can support fertility and pregnancy by addressing hormonal balance, metabolic health, nutrition, stress physiology, and overall resilience. This work is designed to complement obstetric and reproductive care and may be helpful before, during, or after pregnancy.
-
I provide integrative support for individuals undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment, with a focus on symptom management, quality of life, and overall resilience. This may include addressing fatigue, pain, sleep, mood, nutrition, and treatment-related side effects.
Integrative care is intended to complement—not replace—oncology care and is provided in coordination with the oncology team when appropriate. -
Many autoimmune and inflammatory conditions involve complex interactions between immune regulation, hormones, gut health, stress, and environment. Integrative care aims to better understand these contributors while supporting immune balance, reducing symptom burden, and improving overall function alongside conventional treatment.
-
Digestive health is central to many chronic conditions. I work with concerns such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), SIBO, GERD, bloating, dysbiosis, and related gut–brain interactions. Care focuses on identifying drivers of symptoms while supporting digestive and metabolic function.
-
Persistent fatigue and low energy can arise from multiple overlapping contributors, including metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, hormonal imbalance, sleep disruption, and mitochondrial stress. Integrative care focuses on identifying these patterns and supporting cellular energy production through lifestyle, nutrition, and targeted interventions when appropriate.
-
Mental health is inseparable from physical health. My work includes integrative approaches to anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and stress-related conditions, with attention to nervous system regulation, sleep, inflammation, and mind–body pathways. I also have a focused interest in the emerging science of psychedelic medicine and its role in mental health and therapeutic change, approached through a clinical, research-informed lens.
-
As an osteopathic physician, I incorporate osteopathic principles and manual treatment when clinically appropriate. This approach emphasizes the relationship between structure and function and may be helpful for pain, tension, movement restrictions, and nervous system regulation as part of a broader integrative care plan.
