I am passionately dedicated to providing veterinary options for my patients' health and longevity, unifying my clinical background in Western medicine and surgery with Eastern medicine practices and complementary modalities.
I take my time to ensure my clients understand their diagnostic and treatment options, and provide additional tools, resources, and referrals whenever needed to complete the holistic approach. My patients include four-legged family members and top-level competition partners, and they all deserve to be maximally healthy and pain-free.
I am a 2002 Washington State University Honors Veterinary Medicine Graduate, with dual B.S. degrees with Honors in Animal Sciences and Veterinary Sciences from WSU. After graduating with my DVM, I completed a rotating internship in medicine and surgery at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, Canada, and then returned to private small animal practice in the San Francisco Bay Area, focusing on general medicine and orthopedics. I have completed my Masters in Science in Health Communications from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, focusing on patient-provider communication, veterinary health literacy, caregiver burden and the impacts of relational imbalance and misattunement on health and wellbeing.
