Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I’m a Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience in both primary and urgent care, dedicated to building strong, trusting relationships with my patients. My approach focuses on meeting patients where they are and empowering them to take an active role in their care. I strive to create a supportive, therapeutic environment grounded in evidence-based practices. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? In my role as a primary care provider, I take a holistic approach, addressing both physical and behavioral health needs. By listening closely and working collaboratively, I help optimize treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique situation. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? When I’m not working, you might find me dabbling in creative projects, exploring the great outdoors, or soaking up time with friends and family. I’m always up for learning something new and believe that a healthy dose of curiosity and a sprinkle of fun are key ingredients to a fulfilling life.
