My philosophy of care centers around a holistic approach, recognizing the interconnectedness of physical, mental and emotional well-being. I am committed to cultivating a collaborative provider-patient relationship, emphasizing shared decision-making and goal-setting. By tailoring care to individual needs, I strive to empower clients on their unique journey toward health, improved sleep and overall well-being. My focus is on optimizing health outcomes and setting each individual up for success by aligning care strategies with their personal goals.
With over 15 years of dedicated service as a Nurse Practitioner and nearly three decades in the healthcare field, I embarked on my journey at a young age in rural America, caring for my father—an experience that shaped my passion for healthcare. Throughout my career, I have never looked back, finding fulfillment in developing meaningful relationships with my patients. Collaboratively working towards shared goals is at the heart of my approach, aiming for positive health outcomes. Beyond my professional life, I am a proud mother of two beautiful children and have enjoyed 22 years of a fulfilling marriage. Our family thrives on adventures, outdoor activities, a love for sports and cherishing quality time spent together.
