I am a Nurse Practitioner with more than 25 years of healthcare experience and a passion for integrative, patient-focused care. My practice blends evidence-informed Western medicine with functional and preventative approaches to health and wellness, with a strong focus on empowering patients to better understand and participate in their own care journey.

My clinical background spans primary care, emergency medicine, critical care, and rural and remote healthcare. I have a particular interest in women’s health, hormone health, chronic disease prevention, and the complex relationship between lifestyle, nutrition, and overall wellbeing. I completed additional training in functional medicine through The Institute for Functional Medicine, which further supports my integrative approach to patient care. I have also received certification in Health and Wellness Coaching.

In addition to my clinical work, I am currently pursuing my PhD, where my research focuses on the experiences and quality of life of underrepresented women living with endometriosis. My academic interests include women’s health, equity in healthcare, and increasing representation of women and marginalized populations in research. I am passionate about bridging the gap between research, clinical practice, and patient education to improve health outcomes and advance more inclusive models of care.

I believe healthcare should move beyond symptom management toward a collaborative model that prioritizes prevention, root-cause exploration, and long-term wellness. I am committed to creating a supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in achieving their health goals.
