Tricia brings 20 years of experience to your wellness journey. Practicing acute care in the Emergency Department has brought a depth of knowledge and skill for rapid diagnoses and treatment of illness and trauma.  The dramatic increase in the volume of patients presenting to the ED for non-acute conditions associated with chronic illness has been staggering.   These patients are hurting, frustrated and not getting better with the traditional treatments prescribed to them.   Most had never considered that their diets, activities, or thoughts were influencing their inability to improve their condition or cure their disease. The principles of Integrative and Functional Medicine can change your life and your health.
