About

About the Provider

I became a nurse practitioner because I wanted to care for others and help them develop habits and strategies that improve their health. As a family practice provider, I help patients manage a wide variety of health issues, from minor illnesses and injuries to chronic conditions and difficulty losing weight.

My approach to care is based on careful listening. I talk to my patients about what’s working for them, what hasn’t worked, and what their personal health goals are. I prioritize working together to build practical, realistic care plans that may include a combination of lifestyle habits and, if necessary, evidence-based medical approaches.

It is a joy to build trusting relationships with my patients. I love when they return and let me know that the plan we developed together made a difference in their lives.

    Not enough time being able to express my thoughts and feelings, perhaps the assistant brought her up to date on things I said, but she seemed to have a plan ready before I got to express how I was feeling. I’m open to try her plan, and hopefully it will help, but I wish I could have expressed more about how I was feeling, I know she has probably has a lot of patients. But I did feel a bit rushed compared to previous times .
