 I am a board-certified family nurse practitioner specializing in the care of patients with neurological conditions, including headaches, memory disorders, movement disorders, seizures, neuropathy, and more. My passion for neurology stems from a desire to help patients navigate complex health challenges with confidence. I am committed to providing patient- and family-centered care, with a focus on health promotion and wellness through education and counseling. By integrating my training as a family nurse practitioner, I strive to build trusting, long-term relationships that support both the neurological and overall health needs of my patients.
