I’m a Doctor of Nursing Practice–prepared nurse practitioner with a passion for helping patients feel like themselves again. I specialize in prescription-based weight management, combining evidence-based medications with realistic, personalized plans that fit into your life. Having personally struggled with weight loss and experienced the benefits of these medications firsthand, I understand both the challenges and what truly works. My approach is rooted in metabolic health, not quick fixes, with a focus on safe, sustainable results and long-term success. I believe weight loss care should feel supportive, straightforward, and empowering every step of the way.

Prescriptions are submitted through your insurance plan. If your insurance does not provide coverage for these medications, alternative options may be available, including purchasing oral GLP-1 medications or injectable therapies directly through the manufacturer. Your provider will review these options with you to determine the most appropriate plan of care. We also recommend contacting your prescription benefit provider to confirm coverage details
