Practice philosophy: Your health is like a puzzle, with many pieces coming together as you age. At the heart of your healthcare journey is the relationship you build with your provider. My role is to guide your care, provide the education you need to stay healthy, and address your acute care needs with compassion and expertise. I’m committed to delivering the quality care and personalized experience you deserve through open, two-way communication. In family medicine, we build trust and understanding over time, focusing on regular follow-ups and preventive care to ensure a healthier future.
What are you passionate about and why? I am passionate about enhancing the patient experience by focusing on process improvements at both the staff and clinic levels. My goal is to ensure that every visit to our practice is reliable, thorough, and tailored to meet your needs. By anticipating future health concerns during your visit, we aim to provide care that’s not only proactive but also consistent and comprehensive.
If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? I would be a photographer or an artist. Creativity allows us to see the beauty in the world and tell powerful stories, much like the stories I hear from my patients every day.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? I knew from a young age that I wanted to work in healthcare. Helping people at all stages of life while exploring the fascinating science of the human body has always been my passion.
What is something you have learned from your patients? One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned is that while your provider plays a crucial role in your health, it truly begins at home. My aim is to equip you with the tools and knowledge you need to maintain and improve your health in your daily life.
What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? I enjoy the analytics in the complex medical situations. I try to share my differential or "working diagnosis" with you so you can continue to learn about common health problems.
What is your personal health goal? My personal goal is to prioritize mental health, regular exercise, and healthy eating. I believe that daily exercise, regardless of weight loss goals, is the cornerstone of both mental and physical well-being. You’d be amazed at how much better you can feel by staying active.
What is the best thing you've done for your health or the best health advice you've received? I believe that exercise is the core of mental and physical health at all ages. If you exercise daily (independent of a weight loss goal), you will be very surprised on how well you will feel.
What are you most proud of? The family my husband and I are raising is my greatest achievement. Parenting is deeply rewarding, and I cherish the opportunity to coach my children in sports, teach them life skills, and cheer them on—from every vantage point at cross-country meets
What are a few of your personal achievements? I’ve been a passionate runner for over 30 years, inspired by my high school cross country coach.
