How I Work With Families
Licensure, Location, and Legal Clarity
A New Kind of Provider for A New Kind of Parent
I serve families who are ready to learn and who want to stop guessing and start healing— digging beyond symptoms to uncover what’s truly holding your child back. With compassion and science as our guide, we focus on real, lasting change instead of quick fixes, helping your child not just survive, but truly thrive.

Pediatric Nurse Practitioner &
Functional Medicine Mama
I’m a pediatric nurse practitioner with a foundation in adult ICU, NICU and pediatric urgent and primary care—but my heart is in helping families find simple, natural ways to support their children’s health.
I’m also a mama of two little ones, so I get how messy, beautiful, and sometimes overwhelming this stage of life can be. We keep things simple in our home—more dirty hands, fewer unnecessary supplements and a deep trust in the body’s design to heal when we get out of its way.
I’m a firm believer that knowledge brings peace. The more we understand, the less we fear—and that’s true
whether we’re talking about fevers, food, sensitivities, or the latest school bug going around.
Functional medicine helps me connect the dots and motherhood helps me live it out. I’m here doing the same work you are: raising healthy humans with intention, curiosity and a whole lot of grace.
Common Concerns…
ADHD
If you're concerned about your child's inattention and hyperactivity, and hesitant about medication side effects, a functional medicine approach explores underlying factors like nutrition, gut health, and environmental influences to improve focus and behavior naturally.
Autism
For parents seeking to support their child's communication and behavior beyond traditional therapies, functional medicine examines aspects like digestive health, nutrient status, and inflammation, offering personalized interventions to enhance overall well-being.
PANS / PANDAS
Sudden behavioral changes in your child can be alarming; functional medicine aims to identify and treat underlying infections, modulate immune responses, and reduce neuroinflammation to restore neurological balance.
Frequent Illness / Infections
If your child is constantly battling colds or ear infections, functional medicine assesses immune function, nutrition, and environmental exposures to strengthen the immune system and reduce infection frequency.
Eczema + Other Skin Issues
Chronic skin irritation can be distressing for both child and parent; functional medicine identifies triggers such as food sensitivities and gut imbalances, focusing on reducing inflammation and restoring skin health through personalized care
