With 20 years of healthcare experience, my passion for helping others live healthier, happier lives has guided every step of my career. I began working in healthcare in 2005 and have since cared for patients across primary care, urgent care, specialty medicine, addiction treatment, and oncology. These experiences strengthened my commitment to treating the whole person — body, mind, and spirit.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I witnessed an overwhelming rise in mental health challenges and a shortage of providers to meet those needs. This moment reinforced my calling to specialize in psychiatric care. My own personal experiences — including overcoming chronic health challenges, loss, and the beautiful chaos of motherhood — have shaped my compassion, resilience, and ability to connect with patients in a meaningful way.

Driven by a desire to help others feel and look like the best version of themselves, I established Sunshine Wellness — a place grounded in hope, healing, and empowerment.

When I’m not caring for patients, you can find me traveling, digging in my garden, getting lost in a good book, volunteering, or enjoying quality time with my family, friends, and fur babies.
