She has provided care to countless women and perinatal people as a board-certified women’s health nurse practitioner for almost twenty years. Her vision is that mothers, children, and families can thrive because they have the resources needed to achieve full health and wellness, and that it is the clinicians’ job to support wellness (instead of only treating illness) as the standard of care.
