Biography: I have been practicing in Overland Park since 2002. My various practice experiences have brought me to value the practice philosophy at The Women’s Healthcare Group. I really enjoy the physicians and nurse midwives that I have the privilege of working with every day. We truly are a team.My fascination with pregnancy and birth began at a young age. I honestly remember my dolls having babies with calculated due dates. I love all aspects of women’s health from gynecology to pregnancy and delivery. I try to always listen to women and really hear what they are telling me. I want them to feel comfortable talking openly with me about all of their concerns.I chose to become a Certified Nurse Midwife because I love the education side of my job. I truly believe that if you teach and empower women to make healthy nutritional and lifestyle choices that it improves outcomes in all aspects of their lives.I definitely am a birth junkie. It is such a thrill to bring babies into waiting arms for the first time. I love helping couples through the birth process with respect and choice.
