I believe it is a privilege and an honor to be able to provide care to all ages throughout the life span. As a family nurse practitioner, it is my goal to provide quality care by building trusting relationship with my patients. I strive to acknowledge my patient’s unique situation (both physical and mental well-being), while providing education and unconditionally compassionate, high-quality care. I believe my success as a nurse practitioner requires me to accept accountability for being a strong advocate for my patients and their loved ones, as well as being a strong representative of advanced practice nursing. Patients can expect that I will keep them informed and educated before making a health decision. I empower my patients to become active participants in their health care by working together to develop a plan of care unique to their needs."
