I have been a board certified family nurse practitioner for 15 years. As a Nurse Practitioner, my approach to patient care is rooted in a holistic philosophy that emphasizes the importance of treating the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. In recent years, my focus has increasingly been on obesity management, a condition that is often complex and multifaceted, requiring a comprehensive and individualized approach. I am passionate about integrating conventional medical practices with complementary therapies, offering patients a broader spectrum of care to address both the physiological and emotional aspects of their health journey.

I have found that my Nurse Practitioner (NP) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Concordia University in Wisconsin has been a deeply fulfilling one, shaped by a commitment to improving patient outcomes, particularly in the areas of obesity management and orthopedics. Concordia University’s DNP program has provided me with a robust foundation in advanced clinical practice, leadership, and evidence-based care, equipping me with the knowledge and skills necessary to address the complex needs of patients in both the musculoskeletal and metabolic domains.
