ABOUT ME
Why I Do This
I watched people I love face serious diagnoses when I was young. I saw what illness does to a family, the fear, the appointments, the medications, the way it quietly reshapes everything. I didn't have language for it then, but it planted a question in me that never went away.
My Journey
That question got louder in pharmacy school. I was trained inside a system that treats disease in pieces, one medication for one symptom, one specialist for one organ, and I watched patients get managed instead of getting better. I earned my Doctor of Pharmacy from Florida A&M University and spent over a decade in community pharmacy, watching medication lists grow longer while people kept getting worse.
When my own health collapsed, I turned to functional medicine, the root cause approach that looks at the whole person instead of isolated disease. I took what worked and noticed where even that world fell short. My approach was born from living inside both systems, not from a single methodology or certification.
I'm now completing a Master's in Clinical Herbalism, because plants didn't just give us medicine. They gave us a blueprint for a whole system, the same way our bodies are one.
How I See Health
My background gives me a deep understanding of conventional medicine, but that is only one piece of how I look at health.
Today, I bring together pharmacy expertise, functional health, clinical herbalism, lifestyle, movement, comprehensive lab testing, and the story of the person sitting in front of me.
One of my greatest strengths is recognizing patterns.
I love taking something that feels complicated and helping someone see the connections inside it.
I don’t believe conventional and natural medicine have to compete with each other.
The question I’m much more interested in is:
What makes sense for this person, in this body, at this point in their life?
What I Believe
The body works as one whole system. Symptoms aren't the enemy, they're your body trying to tell you something. Healing works best as a partnership between us, not something done to you. And the simpler the plan, the more likely it lasts.
I'm here to be your guide through all of it, helping you connect the dots your body has been trying to show you all along.
