Where I practice
About me
Welcome! I am a nurse practitioner (NP), and I’d like to tell you more about my role at Kaiser Permanente. I am a highly trained healthcare professional who performs physical examinations, diagnoses and treats illnesses, prescribes medications, orders and interprets lab tests, and provides education and counseling. As part of our team-based care model at Kaiser Permanente, I work with physicians as a valuable part of your care team.
Biography
I was born and raised in Houston, Texas, a place that gave me a deep appreciation for Southern hospitality, comfort food, and community. Today, I live in Simi Valley, California, where my husband and I recently purchased our first home. One of my favorite things about our new home is the garden space, complete with six fruit trees, a dedicated plant room, and plenty of room for our two energetic dogs.
My passion for healthcare began with a desire to help people live healthier lives and rely on medication only when truly necessary. Family medicine was a natural fit because it allows me to care for patients across every stage of life, from children to older adults, while focusing on prevention, wellness, and long-term health. Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, decorating our home, spending time with my husband and dogs, and continuing to expand my collection of plants, with varying degrees of success! I am also committed to supporting animal welfare and regularly contribute my time and resources to organizations such as the Humane Society and other local rescue groups.
About my practice
Family medicine offers the unique opportunity to care for a little bit of everything, and that's one of the reasons I love it. I provide care for patients across the lifespan, from newborns to older adults, with an emphasis on preventive care, patient education, and building lasting relationships. My philosophy is that every patient deserves thoughtful, thorough, and compassionate care. Whether that means carefully evaluating symptoms, explaining medical conditions, reviewing treatment options, or focusing on prevention, I believe patients should feel heard, informed, and empowered with evidence-based recommendations. One of the things I value most about Kaiser Permanente is the culture of teamwork. I appreciate working alongside colleagues who share a commitment to caring for their patients.
How I thrive
I thrive by staying active, staying connected to the people and animals I love, and spending time outdoors. Whether I'm caring for my dogs, tending to my plants, decorating our home, or simply spending quality time with my husband, these activities help me recharge and maintain balance. I firmly believe that staying engaged in meaningful activities and spending time in nature can have a profound impact on both physical and mental health.
