I chose family medicine because it allows me to care for patients of all ages and address a wide variety of health needs. This field gives me the opportunity to build long-lasting relationships with patients and support them through every stage of life, which is something I highly value. \n To me, healthcare is a partnership built on trust and respect. My goal is to listen, educate and empower patients to take an active role in their health. I focus on personalized, patient-centered care that prioritizes prevention and work to create a supportive, compassionate clinic environment. \n Patients tell me they appreciate my empathy and integrity. Whether addressing an immediate or acute concern - or managing a chronic condition - I strive to provide thoughtful care that promotes holistic wellness and trust. \n Outside medicine, I enjoy spending time with family, reading, exercising, crafting, being outdoors, practicing mindfulness and being active at my church. These activities reflect my passion for not just physical wellness - but also spiritual, social and emotional wellness.
