My goal as an Advanced Practice Nurse is to create a space where everybody, every identity, and every story is honored in its wholeness. I believe health is more than symptoms or lab results — it’s the dynamic, personal experience of living in your body, shaped by your history, your environment, your relationships, and your dreams.

My heart and my practice are rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to feel safe, welcomed, and truly seen in their healthcare experience. I am deeply committed to providing LGBTQ+ affirming care, supporting Health at Every Size (HAES®) principles, and offering care that is grounded in compassion, respect, and the best available evidence.

For me, meaningful care begins with meeting you where you are, taking the time to listen, and getting to know your story—your hopes, your concerns, and the experiences that shape who you are. You are the expert of your own life, and your voice is an essential part of every decision we make together.

My goal is to create a space where you feel valued, affirmed, and cared for just as you are. Your body, your identity, and your lived experiences are respected here.

Thank you for trusting me with your care. It is truly a privilege to walk beside you on your health journey.
