I am an adult-gerontological certified nurse practitioner with a specialty in holistic care. My professional interests include geriatric medicine, integrative medicine, health and wellness promotion, disease prevention and transitional care.

Hometown: St. Paul, MN

The best part of my work is: connecting with patients and their families so that we can work together to accomplish realistic patient-centered goals and they can intimately find comfort and satisfaction in their well-being.

I became a provider because: I had the privilege of being an RN for nine years at Abbott Northwestern Hospital. During that time, I discovered my passion for geriatrics and integrative medicine. As a doctoral prepared adult-gerontology NP and previously board-certified holistic nurse, I have now advanced my ability to serve and care for the geriatric population.

Favorite health tip: Be kind to yourself, nurture and respect your body, it deserves it.

If I wasn't a provider, I would be a: stay-at-home mom. I have many interests beyond the world of medicine including yoga, art and traveling but my latest passion is my toddler.

What my patients say about me: I make a point to be present and actively listen to their concerns. I work with them to understand and reach their goals.
