ABOUT ME
I’m so glad you’re here! Rooted Health was created with the vision of offering personalized, patient-centered care that goes beyond traditional medicine.
I’m a proud mom of four—two girls and two boys—a wife to an amazing husband, and the daughter of two teachers. We have a lively home with lots of cats and dogs, plus some chickens around! Traveling with my family is one of my greatest joys, and while I don’t have a favorite food, I definitely have a sweet tooth.
When it comes to exercise, I’m currently loving Solid Core, but I’ve tried just about everything. I’d always choose the outdoors over being inside—unless it’s cold and rainy!
While I prefer the beach to the mountains, I truly love both. Surfing is my favorite activity, followed closely by snow skiing, though I wouldn’t say I’m particularly great at either.
My favorite travel destination is Hawaii, where I was fortunate enough to live for a year with my family—and even had my third child in Maui!
​
I attend Southland Christian Church, and my entire family now lives in the same zip code, which is such a blessing. I believe balance is the key to life, longevity, and happiness.
As a board-certified Internal Medicine physician with nearly 20 years of experience, I’ve worked in urgent care, traditional clinics, hospitals, and spent the past 14 years as a nocturnist, strictly working nights. While I’m comfortable treating critically ill patients, I also want to connect with patients beyond their illnesses.
My goal is to provide a more personalized approach to healthcare by offering anti-aging treatments, obesity medicine, hormone replacement therapy, functional medicine, and comprehensive care—without pressure. I want my patients to be co-pilots in their health journey.
I made this career shift to offer what traditional medicine often cannot. I envision a practice that collaborates with local farms, yoga, and Pilates studios, integrating fitness tracker data into personalized health goals. By limiting my patient panel, I can ensure balance for both myself and my patients.
