As a pediatric nurse practitioner, I see children from birth until they go to college. I love being with new parents and welcoming their baby into this world. I also walk alongside parents through the toddler years, elementary school, middle school, high school, and college, as they celebrate the highs and the lows of parenting. Some of my staff joke that no parent cries alone in my presence. I am also passionate about adoption and love helping families in the process of adopting. I will look at a potential adopted child's profile and help decide whether their medical issues are something we can handle and work together to manage. I am a mother to four children and have personal experience with adoption, so I know the challenges and joys that come with it and enjoy walking alongside families in that process.
