MSN, FNP-BC

I took a special interest in preventative health while working as a nurse for the Albany Medical Center Digestive Disease Center. In this position, I developed a deeper understanding of the development and progression of many preventable gastrointestinal diseases.

While attending Duke University, I streamlined my clinicals so I could learn from providers who focused on implementing preventative care within their practices. I spent an extended period of time at the Barnard Medical Center in D.C. with Dr. Loomis and Dr. Barnard who specialize in preventative medicine through plant-based nutrition and other various lifestyle pillars.

After graduating from Duke University, I began my first nurse practitioner job at the only metabolic and weight management practice in the Capital District. I worked under a highly respected physician board certified in obesity medicine. That’s when I began to combine my passion for preventative medicine with weight management, seeing how those two work together to improve patients’ long term health.

As a certified obesity medicine provider and a candidate for board certification in lifestyle medicine, I eventually decided to bring my services to people all over New York State through Six Pillars Health, PLLC. Through ten years in healthcare, with a focus on weight management and metabolic health, I have gained experience with various acute and chronic illnesses across a variety of patient demographics. My area of practice includes the treatment of obesity and its associated metabolic diseases, accomplished by using various medications (if and when needed) and emphasizing the six lifestyle pillars of health.

I look forward to working with you to achieve your weight management and lifelong health goals.
