About Me

My journey includes over 20 years of experience as a pediatric nurse practitioner, providing care in pediatric primary care settings across both public and private sectors, as well as in the pediatric emergency room. This diverse background has equipped me with a wealth of knowledge and expertise to serve your family with confidence and trusted care.

Over the years, I have watched children come into crowded emergency rooms and doctors' offices feeling anxious, uncomfortable, and overwhelmed. I have always believed there was a better option-offering compassionate, comforting care at home, where they feel safest. My goal is to help families avoid unnecessary office or emergency room visits while ensuring your child receives timely care and support, helping them begin their road to recovery early in their illness.

Not only do I want to be there during those sick moments when they need care most, but I also want to be there as they grow. I value tracking their growth and development, and I believe preventive care and well visits are crucial to keeping your children healthy and thriving. It's not only important to monitor and support their development, but also to celebrate all of their milestones-whether it's their first steps, first laugh, first coo, first words, first roll, potty training successes, first school days, and so much more!

I am honoring a calling to support your family and to partner with you in your parenting journey. My care is grounded in biblical values that honor your family's dignity and well-being. Your family's preferences and health goals are important to me, and my desire is to provide care for your family that is based on honesty and trust.

At Thriving Olive Pediatrics, I am excited to support your children from their first days as newborns through adolescence-providing personalized, relationship-based care for your family.
