Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
In my visits and interactions, I hope to provide a safe and nurturing environment where you are heard and cared for, and we can work together toward holistic wellness. 

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
I value listening and shared decision-making. I hope you will feel comfortable that you can be honest and open in sharing what is going on. 

How do you spend your personal time when you're not caring for patients?
I love spending time with my family and animals. I try to be outside whenever possible, whether that is riding my horse, hiking, or at the beach.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I chose to become a midwife because I enjoy supporting people of all ages through their reproductive health. As humans, we face many challenges in the transition of our lives and it can be impactful to receive healthcare that leaves us feeling supported and well cared for. I feel honored to be part of this journey.
