About
“I want my patients to come into the clinic and feel heard, and I want them to leave feeling empowered.”
I am a certified physician assistant (PA-C) with experience in cardiology, anticoagulation and family medicine. My clinical interests include lifestyle medicine and helping patients understand how daily habits can support their long-term health.
I have been fascinated by health and disease since elementary school, and I have always wanted to help others improve their health. That lifelong interest led me to a career where I can combine science, education and personal connections to help patients make meaningful changes.
Philosophy of Care
I believe in addressing the root causes of chronic disease by incorporating lifestyle medicine and considering the social determinants that influence health. I want every patient to feel heard and respected, and to leave with hope that meaningful improvements are possible.
Together, we create achievable, actionable plans that may include medications or procedures when needed, along with nutrition, movement, sleep and stress-reduction strategies.
Favorite Parts of Medicine
Building genuine connections with my patients
Helping people recognize how much influence they can have over their health
Explaining complex medical conditions in clear, understandable language
Creating practical action plans that patients can confidently carry forward
Hobbies
Outside of medicine, I enjoy running, cooking and traveling. I also enjoy spending time with my husband, our two young children and our dog, Max.
