Hi! I’m Dr. V! Thanks for taking a moment to get to know me a little better. 

I began my journey towards becoming a Naturopathic Doctor at a very young age as I observed my family’s health struggles and the limitations in their improvement through following a strictly conventional health model. I just KNEW there had to be something else that could be done. When I finally learned about Natural Medicine it all came together for me - the beauty of using compounds from nature to support the healing power of the body instantly made sense and it became my focus. Attending medical school and learning the art of weaving herbs and nutrients with medications to maximize results was the final puzzle piece I needed. With this approach, I treat patients for a wide range of healthcare needs including hormone management, pain management, and general care.

Outside of this, I have a special interest in complex chronic disease - specifically immune and autoimmune dysfunction. I am an ILADS* trained physician/member and have completed intensive training with Richard Horowitz, MD -  an international trailblazer in treating Chronic Lyme Disease, Post-Lyme Disease Syndrome, and Tick Borne Disease associated illnesses. My approach to these complicated conditions utilizes an integrated, multi-system approach that evaluates every aspect of how you got here, why you are still here, and how we get you to the next step in your health journey. Through your evaluation we will develop your personalized treatment plan for the support necessary to your specific healthcare needs. 

​I hope that you have found this helpful as you make the decision on who to include in your health care team. If you are ready click here to schedule an appointment where we will begin learning how to change your health and your life. 

Cheers!
