MEET YOUR PRACTITONER

It's time to bridge the gap between medicine and the nervous system.

 

I've spent 13 years as a nurse — for humans and animals alike. And in that time, I kept seeing the same pattern: people doing everything right, following every protocol, and still not getting better.

The missing piece wasn't more tools or better labs.

It was the nervous system.

My background in animal behavioral sciences gives me a unique ability to read the body that most practitioners don't have — paired with a medical lens that understands the physiology between trauma and unexplained symptoms.

I address the nervous system component that impacts compliance, physiological receptivity, and treatment outcomes — so your clients can follow through and actually improve.

A uniquely integrated lens

With degrees in Animal Behavioral Sciences and Social Behavioral Sciences alongside my RN-BSN, I bring something most practitioners don't — the ability to read the body from a behavioral, physiological, and nervous system perspective all at once.

Combined with over 7 years of Somatic Experiencing training under Dr. Peter Levine's model and a functional medicine background, I work at the intersection of where medicine stops and resolution begins.
