Helping you live what matters most and journey towards better health.

My Journey to Here
My path to integrative medicine has been shaped by a rich tapestry of experiences. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from MIT and served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Paraguay, where I cultivated my interest in traditional healing practices. After completing medical school and residency in Internal Medicine at the University of California at San Francisco, I pursued fellowship in Hospice and Palliative Medicine at the University of California at San Diego and Integrative medicine through the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona.
Over the years, I’ve also explored healing traditions from around the world, including spiritual and plant medicine in Paraguay, Mayan healing in Belize, shamanic healing, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Ayurveda and Yoga. These experiences and studies have become an integral part of who I am and how I practice medicine. They have shown me that our lives themselves are the medicine—that healing is abundant, deeply personal, and as unique as each individual.
Virtual and In-Person Services
I’m proud to offer both in-person care in Loveland, Colorado, and virtual services to support individuals across Colorado. No matter where you are, we can work together to create a life that aligns with your body’s needs and your soul’s desires.

Whether you're navigating chronic illness, seeking clarity on your next steps, or simply striving for a more intentional life, I would be honored to walk this path with you.

I am here, in this space, because I want to connect deeply with you. I want to work closely with you to improve your health and to help you transform the suffering that often comes with serious or chronic illness into something meaningful and healing. I believe that each of us possesses a powerful intuitive wisdom that can help guide us when we are connected to that innate wisdom. I believe that different modalities of healing resonate with different people. My belief is that your intuitive wisdom is the guide and together we can move you along your own, unique healing journey.
This is my story…
“I founded Healing with Intention to weave together the strengths of conventional medicine, the deeply meaningful conversations of palliative care—where facing our mortality brings life’s most important truths into focus—and the personalized, holistic approach of integrative medicine, rooted in what truly resonates with each individual. My mission is to walk alongside you on your unique and transformative healing journey, helping you embrace what matters most—not despite the challenges of serious and chronic illness, but because of the growth and meaning they can inspire.”
I fell in love with the mystery of the human body and healing when I was young. I read and listened to those in complementary medicine and to physicians who bridged the world of conventional medicine with these other ways of healing, such as Andrew Weil, MD, Lewis Mehl-Madrona, MD, and others.
I understood that healing was both science and art and required intention and participation and that the body could sometimes heal in amazing ways.
As a Peace Corps volunteer for two years in Paraguay, I saw what a lack of modern healthcare meant and how important and necessary it is (and miraculous at times). On the other hand, I also witnessed spiritual healers and people using all sorts of indigenous plants for common ailments which helped them live better.
I started my medical career as a hospitalist, taking care of patients sick enough to be admitted to the hospital. I became disillusioned with what I called, the “revolving door” where we would get someone well enough to go home but then days or weeks or months later, they were back with the same problem.
I knew that our toolbox in conventional medicine was limited and I wanted to help people more comprehensively - body, mind, and spirit - and with a much more individualized and comprehensive toolkit. So I returned to my first love and completed a fellowship in integrative medicine through the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine.
I also saw how sometimes the care in the hospital was mismatched with a patient’s goals. I felt we needed to do a better job communicating with patients about what our care could and could not do and what patients actually want when they are ill. I found it incredibly meaningful to have these difficult and yet important conversations when someone is very sick or dying. So, I returned to medical training to complete a fellowship in hospice and palliative medicine.
I spent several years caring for those with serious illness, talking to them about what mattered and how they lived their best possible moments with illness, and sometimes about the challenges of living when a person knows they are dying.
Meanwhile, I have been on my own journey of healing and have utilized many different modalities including acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, shamanic healing, breathwork, herbal medicine, vitamins and supplements, psychotherapy, internal family systems, coaching, reiki, Rossiter, yoga, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and craniosacral therapy.
When I’m not practicing…
Outside of my work, my life is deeply rooted in connection and nature. I live in Loveland, Colorado with my husband and our two sons in a beautiful, nurturing landscape. Being outside - walking, hiking, caring for our home - deeply nourishes and grounds me. Learning, especially about health and healing, is one of my greatest joys—it’s a lifelong passion that fuels both my work and my personal growth. I also find balance and presence practicing yoga, riding my horses, and walking my dogs. Connecting with nature, with my animals, with myself, and with my family reminds of what matters most and to continually strive to show up authentically and meaningfully in the world.
