I’m a licensed naturopathic doctor with a general practice, offering care both in-person in Whitehorse, Yukon, and virtually throughout British Columbia and the Yukon. My clinical approach is evidence-based and forward-thinking, integrating pharmaceuticals, botanical medicine, nutrition, and—true to our profession’s roots—a strong belief in the healing power of nature, which I’ve come to appreciate even more deeply since moving to the Yukon.
While I see a wide range of concerns in practice, I have a particular interest in chronic gastrointestinal conditions, hormone health, and the mind-body connection. My goal is to offer patients clear, compassionate care that blends the best of conventional and integrative medicine.
I’m proud to be a part of the collaborative care team at Gravity Health Clinics, working alongside Dr. Bobby Parmar and Dr. Paul Maximus. With your permission, your case may be thoughtfully reviewed by all three of us—offering a rare level of collaboration where multiple doctors contribute their insight, time, and expertise to your care.
I earned my Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (Boucher campus) and was honoured to receive the Governor’s Award of Excellence for the highest academic standing. Before becoming a naturopathic doctor, I worked in clinic management, practiced as a holistic nutritionist, and taught yoga—experiences that continue to shape how I support my patients today.
Outside of clinic hours, you’ll often find me hiking with my dog Vasco and my husband, cooking something cozy, or slowly building my dream of a northern garden and a few backyard chickens.
