01 / About
Clear thinking for complex health questions.
I’m a family nurse practitioner with a clinical focus on metabolic health, endocrinology, lipids, hormone health, and prevention. My work centers on making complicated evidence understandable without flattening the nuance that makes care personal.
I believe good medicine should be evidence-based, individualized, and honest about uncertainty. As an educator, I translate the “why” behind health recommendations so people can participate meaningfully in their own care.
“I see myself, more than anything, as a teacher for the patients I work with.”
