I have always loved the science of medicine,  focusing on the root cause of problems is enjoyable to me. I naturally gravitated to Functional Medicine and am now working toward a certification in the most exciting frontier of medicine available. I love nothing more than to share my knowledge with clients and help them achieve maximum health.

At Synergy, I talk with clients to learn their needs and together we formulate a plan of care. For some, traditional medicine works best but for others, preventative medicine, and anti-aging therapies are most appealing.  I use a holistic approach to family medicine to treat both chronic and urgent health conditions, I provide both men's and women’s health, science backed skin care, weight management and hormone balancing. As a Family Nurse Practitioner, I have over 21 years of Emergency Room experience and 8 years of Internal Medicine and Family Practice.  I am interested in keeping people out of the ER, Urgent care and hospitals by being accessible when clients need care most.
