Healthcare Consulting

Are you struggling to navigate a broken healthcare system?

Have you felt dismissed or unheard by providers who may lack the time, empathy, or understanding to truly see what you’re going through?

If you carry trauma from being minimized, scapegoated, or misdiagnosed, you’re not alone—and the idea of seeking help again can feel overwhelming. Medical appointments often leave patients feeling unsupported, especially when chronic or complex health issues don’t fit neatly into the “one symptom per visit” model. This system too often fails those who need comprehensive, compassionate care the most.

As a naturopathic doctor and licensed acupuncturist in practice since 2001, I understand these frustrations on both a professional and personal level. After decades of navigating the medical system myself with undiagnosed lupus, I know what it’s like to fall through the cracks. That experience, combined with my clinical background, allows me to offer something unique: health advocacy grounded in deep empathy and real-world expertise.

I offer consultations where I can review your current diagnoses, medications, and supplements, and help you better advocate for yourself in clinical settings. We can discuss labs to request for chronic symptoms, or—if you’re open to it—explore functional medicine testing, such as microbiome analysis or adrenal stress profiles, to address imbalances at the root cause.

At the heart of my practice is a belief that empathy is what puts the “care” in healthcare. If you’re looking for a safe, supportive space to be heard and a trusted ally on your healing journey, I’m here to walk alongside you. Every path is different—and I will honor yours.

Let’s talk.
