Monika is passionate about practicing evidence-guided medicine and is focused on treating the root cause of disease. She has special interests in mental health (anxiety, depression, PTSD, postpartum) women’s health, fertility, and alleviating the side-effects of cancer therapies (chemotherapy and radiation). She has published articles in Naturopathic Doctor News & Review (NDNR) and actively pursues new and effective methods to help her patients.

Currently, Monika is working towards a certification in stress management and resiliency training from Harvard University - Benson-Henry Institute. She strongly believes this will benefit her patients as stress is an underlying factor in various chronic diseases.
