Chino Valley, AZ
“It is important to me that patients understand they have choices, that they are given the information they need to make good decisions, and that they develop a sense of efficacy and ownership over their health.”
I feel a strong sense of duty in my life and my practice. A duty to be an advocate for my patients and ensure that communication is clear and timely. I feel a duty to respect the time and obligations of my patients, and their cultural, spiritual and family traditions. A duty to be honest and to ensure that my patients get the care they need; and a duty to tailor care taking into consideration my patients’ financial concerns as much as I am able.

I have been working as a Primary Care Nurse Practitioner for the past 10 years, and prior to that worked as an RN in Urgent Care and a hospital based setting. I have experience in managing both acute illness as well as chronic conditions.
I enjoy a variety of crafts such as crochet and painting, and spending time with my dogs and partner in the Arizona sunshine.
My priority is my patients. My goal is to provide quality, affordable patient care in a way that demonstrates caring, compassion, and understanding of each patient as an individual.
