Functional medicine at Encompass builds on evidence-based primary care — looking for patterns across hormones, metabolism, gut health, inflammation, nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle to understand why symptoms persist. Another layer of investigation, not a replacement for conventional medicine.
Functional medicine asks why — not just what. It works alongside your conventional care, adding the time and investigation to look across your full picture: hormones, gut health, metabolism, inflammation, sleep, and stress physiology. Evidence-based. Personalized. No templates.
Book a Free Intro Call →Too many people live with ongoing symptoms despite normal labs and standard care. I built Encompass to practice differently — combining conventional and functional medicine, with the time to see your full picture and the training to know what to do with it.
"Health is rarely one lab value. I look for patterns across systems — and support your body's ability to heal over time."
A board-certified FNP with graduate training from Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania, and years in primary care.
Investigation that goes deeper than a standard panel — into hormones, gut, metabolism, and the systems beneath your symptoms.
Advanced testing and conventional medications when appropriate — whole-person care without giving up clinical rigor.
An educational review of your existing lab work through a functional medicine lens. For patients who want to better understand their current labs, spot potential gaps, and figure out whether a deeper functional evaluation makes sense — before committing to anything.
An educational entry point — not a treatment visit or a functional medicine program.
A lab review tells you what your numbers say. The next step is understanding why — connecting your history, symptoms, and patterns into one clear picture.
"I want to understand what's actually going on before I commit to anything."
A comprehensive two-visit consultation — 60-minute intake, then a 45-minute Review of Findings. Your full history, existing labs, and symptoms reviewed through a functional medicine lens, so you leave understanding what's driving your symptoms and exactly what to do next.
Root Cause Review credits toward Reset or Rebuild when you continue.
Clarity is the starting point. Reset and Rebuild are where that clarity becomes a plan — with the structure, testing, and support to actually move forward.
"I know something is wrong. I'm done managing it. I'm ready to actually do something about it."
A structured 3-month program that turns clarity into action. Personalized clinical plan, targeted lab testing, nutrition and lifestyle protocol, messaging support, and follow-up visits built around your physiology — not a template.
Pricing discussed during intro call. Most patients begin with a Root Cause Review.

"I've tried everything. This has been going on for years. I need someone who will actually go deep."
A 6-month program for complex, layered, or long-standing concerns — hormones, gut, inflammation, metabolism, mood, sleep. When one system can't be understood without the others, this is the container that holds it all.

Many people assume they have to choose between using insurance and pursuing functional medicine. At Encompass, that's not always the case — if we've been working together and spot patterns worth a closer look, I'll recommend the next functional step based on your history and goals.
Insurance is used whenever appropriate for covered medical care. Functional medicine programs provide the time, deeper investigation, testing, and ongoing guidance insurance typically doesn't reimburse. Rather than replacing conventional care, it builds on it.
Begin with insurance-covered medical care, conventional labs, or ongoing management before deciding whether a deeper functional evaluation is appropriate.
For patients who already know they want a comprehensive root-cause evaluation, beginning with a Root Cause Review, Reset, or Rebuild.
Established patients using accepted insurance may qualify for preferred pricing on Reset or Rebuild after their initial medical evaluation.
Ask during your consultation whether this fits.
Still have a question? A free intro call is the easiest way to get it answered.
I use insurance whenever appropriate for conventional medical care, including eligible office visits, standard laboratory testing, imaging, medications, and referrals. Functional medicine programs, extended visits, and most advanced testing are self-pay by design — they provide the additional time, interpretation, and ongoing support that insurance generally does not reimburse.
Conventional labs are ordered through insurance whenever appropriate. Advanced functional tests (such as DUTCH, GI-MAP, GI Effects, or Organic Acids) are self-pay and billed by the lab directly. I only order what your history and symptoms actually call for.
Not necessarily. Advanced testing is recommended only when it's likely to meaningfully change your care. Many patients begin with conventional labs, while others benefit from tests such as DUTCH, GI Effects, GI-MAP, or Organic Acids depending on their history, symptoms, and goals. Testing is individualized — not every patient needs every test.
Root Cause Review creates clarity. Reset and Rebuild create change. During Root Cause Review we identify patterns, review your history and existing labs, and build a personalized roadmap. The longer programs provide the follow-up, implementation, testing, accountability, and adjustments needed to put that roadmap into action over time.
Yes. Patients who already know they're ready for structured support can begin directly with Reset or Rebuild. If you'd rather understand the full picture first, Root Cause Review is the natural starting point — and it credits toward either program.
Yes. Many patients continue seeing their existing primary care provider while working with me through a functional medicine program. If you choose, I can coordinate recommendations with your medical team.
Yes. As a board-certified provider, I can prescribe conventional medications when they're clinically appropriate — functional medicine and conventional treatment aren't mutually exclusive.
It depends on what's driving your symptoms and how long they've been present. Some patients notice shifts within weeks; deeper, longstanding patterns take longer. Reset and Rebuild are built around that reality, with follow-up and adjustment over months rather than a single visit.
Many patients continue with the Integrative Primary Care Membership for ongoing primary care, prevention, and long-term continuity. Others simply return as needed.
Most patients begin with either a Root Cause Review, or directly with Reset or Rebuild if they're ready for structured support. During your free intro call, we'll discuss your history, goals, and where you are in your health journey, and I'll recommend the option I believe is the best fit. There's no pressure to choose before you've had that conversation.
Functional medicine isn't a replacement for primary care. It's an additional layer of investigation when deeper answers are needed.
My goal is to understand the patterns behind your symptoms, build a thoughtful, personalized plan, and keep supporting your health over time — whether that's through a program, ongoing primary care, or both.
Whether you're new to Encompass or already an established patient, we'll help determine whether Lab Launch, Functional Insight, a Root Cause Review, or continuing with primary care is the best next step for your goals.
