Hello

I have been a practicing Nurse Practitioner since 2003, primarily in family practice. During my many years of practice, I struggled to successfully help my patients with their weight concerns. I was not alone. This is a concern that is largely ignored in the healthcare community despite the health costs associated with weight gain.

 

Increased weight is one of the major causes of many health problems: diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, knee pain, depression, cancer, infertility...just to name a few.

 

There is no one measuring tool to determine what weight is best for everyone. As a professional, I approach weight management as a health benefit while my patient's set their individual weight goals. I believe "healthy" comes in many sizes.

​

Our weight is impacted by many factors: genetics, environment, health issues, and behaviors. Because there are so many contributors to weight gain, it makes for a difficult battle without proper guidance. 

​

Understanding what aspect of our weight we can control is the first step in regaining our life back and becoming healthy and happy. 

​

Finding a qualified professional who can help you with your weight loss efforts is key to sustaining a healthy lifestyle and weight. 

​

In 2016, I focused my practice on helping others with weight control and disordered eating. Since, I have earned my Doctorate in Nursing along with becoming a Certified Health Coach. Today, I practice full time in Weight Management. 

​

I practice in NE Arkansas and offer online services for those who live out of state.
