Discover Your Optimal Wellness
Functional Medicine

Did you know six out of ten Americans live with at least one chronic disease, and according to the CDC, this number is quickly on the rise? Sounds scary, but don’t fret. There are options! Let’s redirect our focus to uncovering the root cause of your symptoms, optimizing your health, and enhancing preventative measures. The time has come to put health in your hands.
Functional Medicine is a personalized, science-based, and patient-first approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to identify the root cause of symptoms to promote optimal wellbeing.
We combine the practice of conventional medicine with complementary therapies and treatments such as lifestyle changes, mind-body practices, dietary and herbal supplementation, and meditation among many other therapies to improve and optimize an individual’s quality of life.

I was struggling with my health for the past 2 years, dealing with weight gain, fatigue and bloatedness. After a fibroid surgery I was having even more trouble feeling like myself again. I started working with Carissa doing functional medicine and I feel like I’ve learned more about myself in the last 2 months than I had going to traditional doctors my entire life. She is so detailed, so kind, checks in on me, and has helped uncover the root cause of my condition. We did a full blood work panel and hormone test and she created an individualized plan for me based on the results. In the first 2 weeks of following her recommendations I started feeling so much better. I feel motivated and energetic again, I wouldn’t want it any other way. I’m so thankful and can’t recommend this enough!
