About Me
I enjoy taking care of patients of all ages in my role as a family nurse practitioner at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I specialize in providing exceptional, accessible and safe primary care for people at every stage of life. I regularly treat patients for conditions including diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity. I provide preventive care as well as women’s health and sexual health services.
My practice includes an emphasis on lifestyle medicine. I am passionate about sharing the power of plant-predominant nutrition, regular physical activity, restful sleep, healthy stress management practices, a supportive community, and the avoidance of toxic substances to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic diseases.
I strive to be a support system for each patient and help them maintain sustainable lifestyle practices. When patients come to see me, they can trust that I will meet them where they are, offer customized treatment plans that will help them achieve their optimal state of health and well-being, and celebrate their successes.
In addition to my clinical work, I am a Buckeye Wellness Innovator here at The Ohio State University. I also love helping to train future nurse practitioners and medical students as a preceptor.
When I am not working, I enjoy volunteering with other health care professionals and students of all disciplines at the Columbus Free Clinic, where I serve as a board member, and at the New Life Free Clinic. I also enjoy plant-based cooking, exercising at CrossFit, spending time outdoors and traveling with loved ones.
