I am a board certified family nurse practitioner in family and lifestyle medicine in Georgetown, TX. Over the course of my 23-year career in medicine I have worked in both adult cardiac and pulmonary focused intensive care units, home health, hospice and inpatient rehab, as well as assisted living and memory care.  My career has allowed me to practice the full spectrum of adult medicine.  While I believe pharmaceuticals have their place in medicine, my passion is to show my patients how to live a life without them In 2016, my career took an unexpected turn following a health crisis and an eventual autoimmune disease diagnosis.  While researching and reading everything I could get my hands on about autoimmune diseases, I discovered the connection between diet and disease.  Three years after my diagnosis I had reversed my autoimmune illness, was off all my medication, and had almost undetectable antibodies.  I had a new vision for the way I wanted to practice medicine.  I returned to The University of Texas at Austin and completed my Doctorate in Nursing Practice focusing on Lifestyle medicine.
