Summary
Compassionate and experienced Family Nurse Practitioner with extensive comprehensive primary care experience, dedicated to promoting wellness and preventing disease through patient-centered care. Skilled in motivational interviewing, health education, and building trusting relationships that empower individuals to take an active role in their health. Recognized for exceptional communication skills and a genuine ability to connect with patients from all backgrounds, fostering long-term engagement in healthy lifestyle changes. Committed to helping every patient live their best, healthiest days through personalized, preventative, and holistic care while also identifying barriers and leveraging resources to overcome these barriers. In addition to delivering excellent individualized care, it is important that patients understand that they are part of "our family" and then always deliver the attention and care that demonstrates that value. I also work to build great relationships with my colleagues, specialists, ancillary staff, (lab, radiology, etc), vendors and every cleaning crew at every job because it takes everyone to be successful.
