I’ve always been fascinated by the connections between how we live, how we feel, and how our bodies work. Helping people understand those connections is at the heart of Beyond the Script.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychobiology at UCLA before completing my Physician Assistant education at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Over more than 20 years in medical practice, I have worked across multiple specialties, caring for people with a wide range of health concerns.

Throughout my career, I kept returning to the same questions: Why is this happening? Why do some people recover while others continue searching for answers? Those questions — and my own experience with chronic illness — led me to explore functional medicine.

My approach looks at how symptoms, medical history, nutrition, sleep, stress, lifestyle, and laboratory findings fit together. Taking time to understand the whole picture can help us identify contributing factors and develop a plan that fits your needs.

I created Beyond the Script for people who want a deeper understanding of their health and a thoughtful partner in exploring what comes next. I believe education is empowering: when you understand the “why,” you’re better equipped to make informed decisions and meaningful, lasting changes.
