I am a graduate of Rocky Mountain College in Billings, Montana, with a Bachelor of Science and Physician Assistant certification earned in 1999. With over 15 years of specialized experience in dermatology—following earlier roles in emergency and internal medicine—I have developed a deep understanding of complex skin conditions.

Throughout my career, I’ve witnessed the limitations of conventional treatments for chronic skin issues such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, and rosacea. While topical and systemic medications can help manage symptoms, they often don’t address the underlying causes, leaving patients in a cycle of flare-ups and ongoing discomfort.

​

My philosophy centers on a holistic, patient-focused approach that emphasizes the vital connection between gut health and skin health. Inspired by functional medicine and the teachings of leaders like Dr. Julie Greenberg, of Root Cause Dermatology, I believe that addressing root imbalances—particularly in the gut—can lead to lasting improvements in chronic skin conditions. My goal is to help patients achieve true healing and overall wellness through personalized, evidence-based care that goes beyond symptom management.
