About

Philosophy of care

My approach to internal medicine focuses on a whole-person perspective, emphasizing proactive prevention and lifestyle wellness alongside evidence-based medical care. Rather than just treating illness as it arises, I partner with you as my patient to optimize your long-term health. By combining thorough clinical evaluation with patient education, I strive to help individuals manage chronic conditions effectively and live their healthiest lives.

Why I entered medicine

I wanted a career that combined a passion for complex science with a deep commitment to serving others. Internal medicine allows me to look at the big picture of a patient's health and provide comprehensive care over time. There is nothing more rewarding than partnering with patients over the years, celebrating their wellness milestones and supporting them through their clinical challenges.

Community involvement

I view community wellness as an important component of comprehensive primary care. I am committed to supporting local health education, fostering patient empowerment through clear communication and advocating for preventative care initiatives that improve the overall health and quality of life for the individuals and families I serve.

Personal interests

When I’m not caring for patients, my time is centered around my family. I love quality time with my husband and son, and gathering with our extended family. I also enjoy traveling to new destinations, golfing and scuba diving. I make fitness a priority through regular gym workouts and exercise classes, and love spending downtime in the kitchen cooking and baking.
