Preventive health is my calling. I love helping families stay healthy through evidence-based medicine, education, and one-on-one problem solving. I listen to my patients, as I want to understand their individual needs and their caregivers’ concerns. I want to support kids as they grow and guide families in creating opportunities for life-long health. I use my knowledge and resources as a nurse practitioner, dietitian, and mom to help families in all the ups and downs along the way.
