“Patients are people with diverse needs and wants. I look forward to long-term relationships with those I have had the privilege to care for in all phases of life.”

“I strive to treat my patients with the love, concern and respect that I would want for myself, my family members and my friends. As a woman and mother, I understand the challenges in achieving a comfortable balance between the many demands on your time. I want to provide a compassionate space where we can help you take care of yourself as well as care for those around you.”

“I wanted to establish and maintain patient relationships -becoming an OB/GYN offered me the chance to pursue that goal. I’m able to share medical and life experiences with my patients. Right now, I’m caring for a second generation pregnancy; I’ll deliver the baby of a woman I delivered.”

“My patients are some of the most remarkable women I have ever met. I am constantly amazed at the ability of my patients to cope with the multitude of issues that confront them daily.”

“A physician I once worked with told me: ‘Compassion is the key to success. As long as you always listen and respond to your patients, you will be successful.’ This has helped pave my practice and my success.”

“As a family nurse practitioner specializing in women’s health, I take pride in helping women reach their optimal health.”

“I find one of the greatest joys of my job is to educate patients in such a way that they are empowered to make the best decisions for their health.  To me, true wellness embodies the mind, body, and spirit of each individual and their unique circumstances.  Meaningful relationships are the natural by-product of such a journey, and I am excited to narrow my focus from my background in primary care to women’s healthcare.”

“I feel I can help patients the most when I meet my patients where they are. I don’t have an agenda except to meet their needs at that moment. Listening to and respecting my patient’s needs is where I start every encounter. I was in Internal Medicine for 14 years when I felt the calling to focus on Women’s Health over 6 years ago. I can relate to their struggles with periods, birth control, hormones, weight control, and the complexities of being female. I feel I do my best work by focusing on women’s health care.”

“I appreciate the continuum of women’s life stages; finding joy in treating teens to mature women irrespective of their life circumstances. I acknowledge that every stage affects women differently allowing me to provide specialized care. My career started in 2004, guiding obstetrical patients through their journey. I truly do have a tender spot for them while understanding the complexities that often accompany pregnancy. Providing compassion to each unique patient is my highest priority.”
