Modern medicine offers remarkable tools—but healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. As both an internal medicine and palliative care physician, I’m trained to navigate complexity and uncertainty, helping you make informed, meaningful choices about your care. Whether you’re seeking preventive support, living with chronic illness, or managing a new diagnosis, I help align the care you receive with what matters most to you.

My practice brings together medical expertise and integrative healing to guide you through times of change—gently, holistically, and with a deep respect for your values, goals, and personal definition of wellbeing.

What Is Internal Medicine?

Internal medicine is a specialty focused on adult health across the spectrum—from prevention and early detection to diagnosis and long-term management of chronic or complex conditions. Internists are experts in the interconnected systems of the body and often serve as primary care physicians or consultants for more complicated medical issues.

As a board-certified internist, I offer care for acute and chronic conditions, with particular expertise with older adults and those navigating multiple health challenges.

What Is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is a medical specialty that focuses on improving quality of life for people living with serious illness. It emphasizes relief of symptoms—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—and supports patients and families in making healthcare decisions that reflect their values and priorities.

Palliative care is not limited to end-of-life—it can be helpful at any stage of illness. I use its principles to ensure that care is person-centered, compassionate, and aligned with what brings meaning and dignity to life.

A Personalized and Holistic Approach

Rather than following a rigid protocol, I draw from a full toolbox to tailor care to your unique needs. This may include:

• Integrative care planning for health and wellbeing promotion and those with serious illness or multiple diagnoses
• Lifestyle and nutrition guidance for prevention or chronic disease management
• Non-pharmacological support such as acupuncture, acupressure, or healing touch
• Mind-body approaches to address stress, fatigue, mood, and sleep
• Coaching and spiritual counseling to explore life transitions, grief, or meaning-making
• Medical decision-making grounded in internal medicine and palliative care

Each visit begins with deep listening. From there, we co-create a care plan that reflects your current priorities—whether that’s symptom relief, optimizing energy, clarifying treatment options, or simply being seen and supported in your wholeness.

True healing isn’t just about fixing what’s broken—it’s about honoring your wholeness. Whether I’m helping you manage blood pressure, navigate cancer treatment, support your loved one in hospice, or explore natural ways to sleep better, I hold your story at the center.
