Our Team

Dr. Jessica holds a Master's and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, along with certification as a Transformational Mindset and Holistic Health Coach. With a strong background in early childhood development, she has extensive experience working in hospital, university, and trauma center settings, where she has supported active duty and retired military personnel, as well as children and individuals with diverse neurological and mental health profiles (e.g., autism, ADHD, dyslexia, depression, anxiety, and PTSD). Additionally, Dr. Jessica has worked with individuals experiencing chronic pain in an Integrative Health Intensive Outpatient Program, helping patients navigate both the physical and emotional challenges associated with chronic pain.

Having been exposed to natural remedies in her childhood, Dr. Jessica personally experienced the benefits of holistic health. After facing her own health challenges that weren’t fully addressed by conventional medicine, she sought out functional medicine, which played a transformative role in her own healing journey. While she had incorporated holistic practices in her previous roles, she recognized their limitations within traditional settings, which ultimately led her to pivot toward functional medicine. Today, she is passionate about helping others in the same way she was helped.

In addition to her clinical training, Dr. Jessica has expanded her expertise in fitness, nutrition, holistic psychology, and Functional Medicine. She is committed to empowering her patients to reclaim control of their health by guiding them toward a holistic approach. This includes nourishing food, regular physical activity, and relaxation practices designed to promote balance and overall well-being. Dr. Jessica believes these foundational principles are key to managing the everyday stressors of life while supporting optimal health and longevity.

*Fluent in both English and Spanish, Dr. Jessica is dedicated to making holistic health and mental well-being accessible to a range of clients.

Dr. Grace is a CA Licensed Naturopathic Doctor. She earned her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in San Diego, CA. Her journey to Naturopathic Medicine began after completing her undergraduate degree with a desire to find a model of medicine that focuses on chronic disease management and prevention, and a patient-centered healthcare model that allows patients to heal from the inside—not just mask symptoms with pharmaceuticals.

Dr. Victor was drawn to the success of the Functional Medicine healthcare model at Advanced Functional Medicine. Her passion is to support patients on their healthcare journey through utilizing nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, lifestyle, and nutrient supplementation. Outside of the office, Dr. Victor enjoys spending time with her family, and enjoying the sunny SoCal weather!

Sara is a Registered Nurse and Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach originally from Washington State where she completed her Bachelor’s degree in the Science of Nursing at Seattle Pacific University. Before joining the team at Advance Functional Medicine, Sara worked as a Nurse Clinician at a Community Health Clinic in Seattle, where she practiced chronic disease management and led diabetes education programs. Early on in her career, she recognized that the conventional-medicine model fails to identify and treat the root cause of disease, and often leaves patients desperate for more help. Sara decided that she could no longer be a part of the ineffective and costly medical system that simply “manages chronic disease”. In search of something greater, Sara discovered the power of Functional Medicine. Since then, Sara has completed additional training in Nutrition, Holistic Nursing, and Functional Medicine.

Sara believes the human body is innately intelligent and fully capable of healing given the right environment. As an RN Health Coach, Sara sees her patients as active participants in their care, as they are supported in creating lasting-lifestyle change. Sara’s mission is to educate and empower patients to take back control of their health. What Sara loves most about her role here at Advanced Functional Medicine, is seeing patients get off numerous prescription medications while they continue to reverse disease and live more fulfilling lives.

Dr. Kris has a Master's in Oriental Medicine and is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Her journey toward becoming a medical professional was an uncommon one. She started having her own personal health struggles in her early twenties—nagging, unexplained symptoms that would not go away. After several years, she finally turned to alternative and natural forms of medicine for healing, and like many, her life was forever changed! This started her journey of becoming a doctor that could fully embrace the patient, healing from the inside out, breaking the confines of the traditional drug-therapy model.

She is passionate about Functional Medicine by helping patients heal through nutrition, supplements, modalities like acupuncture, and a positive mindset. She is a believer that educating and empowering her patients to live a clean, non-toxic lifestyle combined with healthy eating can be the key foundations to optimal health and aging.

Leslie started her health journey when she was just in high school. After seeing incredible results with changes to her diet she decided to pursue a career in nutrition. Leslie attended San Diego State University and received her Bachelor of Science in Foods and Nutrition.

She went on to work for a weight loss company and then found her way to Advanced Functional Medicine where her passion for preventative and natural medicine was able to expand and be used.

With over 10 years of patient experience, Leslie has been a part of our team for many years and has enjoyed learning from Dr. Willis and getting to work with patients to transform their health.

Dr. Bianca is a board-certified and licensed Naturopathic Doctor in California. She obtained her doctorate at Bastyr University in San Diego, California. Prior to that, she was a graduate from Stanford Law and spent a large portion of her career helping fostered youth receive the services they needed while they were in the dependency system. Dr. Bianca made her way back to her passion medicine after encountering her own health struggles. She found that taking a whole body approach to treatment gave her the most successful results, and she wanted to share this approach with others. She strongly believes that healing the body should begin with finding the root cause. Once that is determined, then we can support the body's ability to heal itself using diet, nutrition, supplement therapy, and simple lifestyle modifications.

The patient success stories at Advanced Functional Medicine continue to confirm that the model of finding the root case and treating the whole person (mind, body and spirit), is the best way to approach patient care. She loves working with patients and seeing incredible results using this approach.

In her free time, Bianca enjoys spending time with her husband and son, either playing board games or exploring the many gems of San Diego. She also enjoys dancing, pilates, and going to movies, musicals and concerts. She is also a former Zumba instructor and is certified in Reiki.
