I am a board certified Family Physician with the American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians. I received my Doctor of Osteopathy Degree from Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2012, one of my proudest achievements. I then went on to complete my Family Medicine residency training at Bluefield Regional Medical Center in Bluefield, WV. Both my Bachelor’s Degree in Biological Science and my Master’s Degree in Biomedical Science were completed at Colorado State University where I graduated with honors. Having grown up Colorado I am thankful for the opportunity to practice medicine here as well. I am currently employed with Green Mountain Partners for Health in Lakewood, Colorado and am accepting new patients. My focus is in adult medicine with an emphasis on prevention of disease and optimizing the health and well-being of my patients. In addition to annual Wellness Exams, I also treat a variety of chronic health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, and hypothyroidism as well as anxiety and depression. I value the time I spend with my patients and encourage each individual to be an active part of their health care plan in order to reach their personal health goals. I am an active member of multiple professional medical organizations including the American Osteopathic Association (AOA), American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians (ACOFP), Colorado Academy of Family Physicians (CAFP) and Colorado Medical Society (CMS). Personal Philosophy:“My goal is to preserve the health of my patients by providing each individual with exceptional medical care to the best of my abilities. The foundation of healing starts with me and with my dedication and emphasis on preventative medicine. It is refined by the development of a mutually trusting relationship based upon respect, empathy, and genuine communication. My hope is that through these elements, each patient will attain the greatest fulfillment of their health care needs.”
