Greetings, I am an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse, Board Certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner
(FNP). I am the practice owner and healthcare provider of Footsteps to Wellness.
I completed a Master’s of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree with Honors at Kaplan University with a
board certification through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). I began my healthcare
career over 20 years ago in various community health and hospital settings. Soon after my career started
as a Nurse Practitioner, I realized in a short period of time just how much of my client’s symptoms and
chronic illnesses were directly related to lifestyle choices and the aging process, and just how little time I
had to address it in the “12 minute” insurance based office setting. It was constantly “a pill for a
symptom and another pill for the side effect”. While continuing advanced education and certificates in:
Functional Medicine, Addiction, Weight Management, Hormone Therapy, Vitamin Therapy, Peptide
Therapy, Aesthetics and traveling the world, I learned that traditional mainstream medicine was only
putting a bandaid over a much bigger problem.
