With more than 12 years of healthcare experience, I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping patients achieve lasting improvements in their health through evidence-based, compassionate care. My clinical background includes both emergency medicine and family medicine, where I have cared for patients of all ages and developed a deep appreciation for the importance of building trusting, long-term patient relationships. I am especially passionate about metabolic health, longevity, and addressing the root causes of chronic disease. I believe obesity is a complex, chronic medical condition that affects every aspect of a person's physical and mental well-being. Rather than focusing on quick fixes or simply adding more medications, I take a whole-person approach that emphasizes sustainable lifestyle changes, individualized treatment plans, and long-term success. My passion for weight management is deeply personal. After achieving a 130-pound weight loss myself, I understand firsthand the challenges, frustrations, and emotional journey that often accompany obesity. This experience has given me a unique perspective and allows me to connect with patients through both clinical expertise and genuine empathy. I look forward to partnering with each patient to create realistic, achievable goals and celebrate every step of their journey toward better health. As a telehealth weight loss provider, my goal is to empower patients with the knowledge, support, and medical guidance they need to improve their metabolic health, increase their quality of life, and build habits that promote lifelong wellness. Outside of work, I live on Maryland's Eastern Shore, where I enjoy spending time on the Chesapeake Bay, especially jet skiing and taking advantage of everything the water has to offer.
