I am a lifetime resident of Maryland, currently residing in Clarksville, and a self-declared lifelong learner. While in pursuit of a career as a healer, I studied biochemistry at the University of Maryland at Baltimore County. I find I am using this foundation now more than ever at the cutting edge that is Complementary Alternative Medicine.




After graduating from the University of Maryland School of Medicine, I completed my formal training at the prestigious Georgetown University/Providence Hospital Family Practice Residency Program for three more years. During this time, I continued to pursue Complementary Alternative Medicine studies, both through the residency and independently. I also worked actively in the community through many projects and upon graduation was honored with the yearly Community Medicine Award.




I look forward to my interactions with clients. I love what I do, and I recognize I am blessed to have the opportunity to serve. In concordance with the origin of the word physician, I believe part of my service to clients is to impart what I know so they can make an educated decision about the care of their own body, mind and spirit. In the journey of this holistic therapeutic relationship, I hope to empower patients to lead their fullest life, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.




Meanwhile, I plan to continue my lifelong learning by studying Acupuncture at the renowned Tai Sophia Institute in Laurel, MD. I stay abreast of the latest developments through various postgraduate courses and seminars. I also continue to be an active member in the International College for Integrative Medicine, the American College for Advancement in Medicine, the Institute for Functional Medicine, the Weston A. Price Foundation, the American Association for Health Freedom and the American Academy of Family Physicians.




My life outside of medicine is dedicated to my husband, my family and friends, obtaining my Master's in Acupuncture, our husky-shepard Tara and gardening.
