“In weight-loss and health management, I lead with empathy and active listening—truly knowing my patients makes their journey personal and meaningful.”

I have over 10 years of healthcare experience, much of it spent caring for patients with serious and often life-altering illnesses. Those years at the bedside shaped my compassion and deepened my understanding of what people go through when their health is compromised. But that also sparked a realization—I didn’t want to wait until someone was sick to help them; I wanted to walk with them toward health before it was too late.

I graduated with my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Miami, right here in beautiful and sunny South Florida. Today, my focus is on weight-loss and health management, guiding patients toward their goals with empathy and evidence-based strategies. I believe that the most effective care comes from truly getting to know my patients—understanding their challenges, motivations, and goals.

Nothing feels better than helping someone feel good, both inside and out. For me, this work is about more than reaching a goal weight. It’s about helping people reclaim their confidence, improve their health, and feel proud of the progress they’ve made.
