Meet Our Expert

I’m the founder of EHC, a Family Nurse Practitioner, and someone who understands firsthand how frustrating it is to know something is wrong with your body, only to be told that everything looks “normal.”

Years ago, I was exhausted, cold, gaining weight, and struggling just to feel like myself. For three years, I had my thyroid tested and was repeatedly told it was normal. Finally, my thyroid became abnormal enough to treat. I remember practically running to the pharmacy for my Synthroid prescription because I thought, Finally! I’m going to feel better. Six weeks later, my thyroid labs were “normal.” But I wasn’t. I still had all of my symptoms, and I had actually gained more weight.

I eventually found functional medicine and underwent more comprehensive testing. Instead of looking only at whether my lab values fell within a standard reference range, we started asking a different question:

WHY was I feeling this way? We discovered a gut infection, abnormal lipid markers, significant hormone imbalances, and other underlying issues that had never been investigated. Once we addressed what was actually happening in my body, my symptoms resolved, my thyroid function improved, and I felt better than I had in years. That experience also changed my future in another incredible way. My hormones had already declined close to menopausal ranges. Without discovering and addressing those issues, I may never have been able to have my daughter at age 42. Today, I’m the mom of twin boys I had at 24 and a little girl I had at 42. I always dreamed of having twin boys and a little girl. I just never imagined there would be almost two decades between them. ❤️

I have worked in healthcare for more than 20 years. I attended Kansas University Medical Center and began my career as a Registered Nurse, working in intensive care, preoperative, and postoperative care in hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, and clinics. Over the years, I watched more and more people become chronically ill. We were often very good at treating their diagnoses and managing their symptoms, but I wanted to understand why they were getting sick in the first place. That led me to become a Family Nurse Practitioner, graduating Summa Cum Laude from Regis University, and eventually to advanced education in functional medicine.

I have completed hundreds of hours of postgraduate education and continue my training through organizations and conferences including the Institute for Functional Medicine and the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness (ISEAI).

My approach combines functional medicine with evidence based conventional medicine.

As a Family Nurse Practitioner, I can evaluate and diagnose medical conditions, order advanced testing and laboratory studies, and prescribe medications when appropriate. I also incorporate nutrition, lifestyle interventions, targeted supplementation, herbal medicine, and other functional approaches.

This allows us to look beyond “What medication treats this symptom?” and start asking:

What is driving the symptom in the first place? We may investigate areas such as gut health, hormones, thyroid function, nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, metabolic health, environmental exposures, immune function, and other factors that may be contributing to how you feel. My additional training as a Reiki therapist and Certified Massage Therapist has also shaped the way I view health. The body, mind, nervous system, environment, and lifestyle do not operate independently of one another. My goal is to look at the whole person, not simply a diagnosis or lab result.

If you are exhausted, uncomfortable in your body, struggling with symptoms you cannot explain, or have been told your labs are normal despite knowing you don’t feel well, I want you to know there may be more to investigate. You don’t need another person to simply tell you what is wrong with you.

You need someone willing to help uncover why it is happening and what we can do about it.

That is why I created EHC.

My goal is to give you answers, create a clear plan, and help you become an active participant in your health so you can get back to feeling like yourself again.
