I began my nursing career in 2014, after I graduated from Chamberlain College of Nursing. I knew at a very young age that caring for others would be my calling. I chose nursing because I am compassionate, empathetic, caring, honest, loyal, and dedicated. These qualities come natural to me as I believe that my main purpose in life is to care for others. Most individuals describe me as self-less and hard working. I have cared for patients of all age groups. I truly believe one of the most important things we can do is to build ourselves back up, and come back even stronger.

We are a primary care group that cares for individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, B.E.D., and other diagnoses. We primarily work with our patients to identify and diagnose the condition followed by the appropriate medication management. We believe in a holistic approach - combining lifestyle, exercise, mindfulness, psychotherapy and when needed, medications. Every person is unique and the key is in personalizing the right medication and the right dose. We use gene-drug information to guide the correct medication choice for the individual, instead of trying different medications to find the right one.
