My Mission, My Calling…
My philosophy of care is trauma informed, holistic and lifestyle medicine that are centered on you as a person and not disease. These are the four petals of the sunflower logo for the practice I’ve created. Although I offer chronic disease management, I am an advocate to my patients that you are not defined by a disease and love to coach and encourage through lifestyle recommendations to spur on resilience, health and wellness. In addition to be being a board certified family nurse practitioner, I hold a graduate certified in public health, certificates in lifestyle medicine including nutrition, weight and wellness, and bachelors degrees in nursing, communication and international studies. Prior to become a nurse practitioner, I was a medical mission, ER nurse, forensic nurse and nursing instructor and volunteered with search and rescue teams as well as EMS in my communities. I am passionate about being a steward in my communities with the mission to increase access to authentic healthcare and offer free healthy community activities during the month including a walk in the park, book club and health fair. When I'm not serving or caring for others, you can find me enjoying a hike or at home with my two Maine coon cats (Perseverance and Bentley). It is my privilege to care for you and support you and appreciate you!
Love Always, Emily

Patient Testimonials
“Emily is kind, empathetic, smart and truly listens. She takes the time to connect with everyone she meets.”
“Best physical ever! I feel so empowered and encouraged after visiting with Emily. It’s like spending time with your best friend with a stethoscope!”
“I felt so validated, affirmed and like a human and not a list of diseases or tests. She took the time to get to know me, asked me what my goals were instead of the generic assembly line that has become primary care. We laid out a plan and it was a conversation and not a prescription for a bunch of pills. This really is special… she’s special.”
“It’s like Patch Adams and Florence Nightingale doing a house call! She has really brought back the care in health care!”
