Providers in my care team:
I am a certified nurse practitioner specializing in family medicine. I have professional interests in pediatrics, asthma, sports medicine, diabetes, hypertension, dermatology, men's health, obesity and weight loss. I offer face-to-face virtual visits for a variety of health services and conditions.
I am passionate about: my family, building rich relationships with others, enjoying and exploring nature, studying ancient literature, and serving others. All of these have one thing in common: a deep interest and passion for humanity.
I became a provider because: I have always wanted to help people whether it be with social or physical needs. Through my life, I have worked in youth outreach, in group homes and as a critical care registered nurse. I decided early on in my nursing career that I wanted to become a nurse practitioner to provide the kind of care that I gave as a nurse while providing care as a medical provider.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is: having the great privilege to care for people of all ages from infants to frail older adults as a family medicine provider. I enjoy everything from teaching about health to the complexity of managing multiple health issues.
Something I have learned from my patients is: that taking the time to listen gives great insight not only into the direction of care, but also into the richness of each person's life.
