Professional interests:

- loss, grief, and bereavement
- End of life
What is your practice philosophy? I believe in meeting people where they are at and keeping an open mind. Every person is wonderfully unique, and it is my privilege to partner with patients on a path to better emotional and psychological health.
What are you passionate about? And why? I consider it a sacred responsibility to walk alongside individuals when they are navigating a cancer diagnosis or processing through grief related to end of life. Within a week of working within oncology, I knew this is where my heart was meant to stay.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? I've always felt as though my heart was meant for the service of others. Life can be
excruciatingly tough at times, and I wanted to make things even just a little bit lighter for others.
Something I have learned from my patients is: I quickly learned to never underestimate the power of love, grace, and hope.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is (and why): I love that every day is different and there are always new things to learn and discover!
What are you most proud of? My 2 children are the absolute highlight of my life: my son Aiden is sweet and loving, and my daughter Willow is free-spirited and full of moxie. They are my greatest legacy.
