Certifications: Acupuncture
Hello, I am a licensed naturopathic doctor focusing on mental health conditions including addictions and substance use disorders, impulsivity, and self-harm. In addition, I counsel patients of all ages on the importance of brain health and cognitive performance. I firmly believe that every patient has the capacity to overcome their struggles and am committed to helping others realize they are deserving of a fulfilling life.
I received my Bachelor of Kinesiology degree from the University of Calgary and worked as a corporate professional for several years thereafter. I reignited my passion for health sciences after uncovering a deep desire to heal others through empathy, motivation, and evidence-informed treatment plans. I earned my Doctor of Naturopathy degree from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, ON, where I was granted the award for Excellence in Naturopathic Physical Medicine amongst my graduating class.
Well-versed in habit building and creating positive change, I understand the complexities of human behaviour and motivation. I am committed to helping patients regain their autonomy and I personally practice what I preach. My aim is to guide patients towards a life of purpose and fulfillment through naturopathic addictions counselling, tailored nutrition plans, acupuncture, and laboratory testing.
