Areas of Professional Interest

I was drawn to the role of Family Nurse Practitioner after initially pursuing a career in nutrition, serving as a community health educator in the Peace Corps and later as a dietitian in a hospital setting. Through these experiences I realized that I wanted to be able to address individuals’ health concerns in a more comprehensive manner. With over fifteen years of experience as a Nurse Practitioner, my passion for Family Medicine remains strong. I am committed to staying current with evidence-based guidelines. I continue to emphasize principles of healthy living, and I have a special interest in mental health, women's health and weight management. I have received training in medical acupuncture and incorporate this into my practice regularly.
