I am a nurse practitioner with my Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University of Arizona as well as a Health Coach with my certification from the American Council on Exercise. I have been a health practitioner since 2009, with an emphasis on cardiac care since 2012.

Following the corporate medicine model in clinic and hospital settings never seemed to allow for enough time spent with my patients. I felt pushed to solely focus on medications and procedures. I kept thinking there had to be a better way, so I took a chance and left corporate medicine.

I started Naturally Heart Healthy with two goals:
1) Spend more time with my patients.
2) Emphasize the overwhelming benefits of lifestyle modifications.

I do not wish to replace your cardiac or primary care provider.

I wish to SUPPLEMENT the care you receive by providing extended appointment times and discussing aspects of care your regular provider may not have time to cover.

You and I will work together to optimize your health.

*I am board certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center to work within the Adult Gerontology patient population, 18 years of age and older.
