There are so many factors affecting physical and emotional health and through knowing my patients, I am better able to tailor appropriate therapies based on shared goals and their beliefs. In family medicine, we often have the unique privilege of caring for multiple members or generations of a family, which I find to to be one of the most fulfilling aspects of general practice. “

She brings experience with patients of all ages, providing past pediatric, adolescent, adult and geriatric care. She enjoys the diversity that family medicine offers and that it allows her to build relationships and grow with patients of all ages. “I truly believe family medicine is the heart of medicine, and my goal is to always create a safe, warm, and comfortable space for patients to express their health concerns. I encourage patients to be active participants in their care, and like to provide them with options so their treatment can reflect their unique and individual needs. I also believe so much of our health is best managed holistically and really work hard to always incorporate that in my treatment plan. Ultimately, I want patients to leave every encounter feeling heard, valued and cared for, and try to always make that my goal.”
