I look forward to working together with you to bring about wholeness, health, and peace. As an osteopathic physician, I have been trained to consider the whole person, body, mind, and spirit. Without a balance in all three, we will continue to struggle to find health. Together, we will search for the root cause of symptoms, looking as deep as your DNA itself, and strive toward balance. Treatment often includes medication, diet, and lifestyle changes. We will work as a team to find optimal health.

My background is as diverse as my approach to treatment. The practice of medicine came later in life for me. My first vocation was in garment manufacturing, which led to a 14-year career of teaching Industrial Sewing in Winnsboro, SC. As the garment and textile industry slowly left the country, I found myself questioning how I would spend the rest of my life. Through much soul searching and prayer, I decided on medicine, specifically psychiatry. I chose osteopathic medicine because of the holistic approach to wellness, which is found in the overlap of body, mind, and spirit. In the interim, while preparing for medical school, I transitioned from teaching Industrial Sewing to teaching college level science courses at Midlands Technical College, as well as; providing educational therapy to children from age 5 to 15, at Covenant Christian School, and teaching high school homebound students for Lexington and Richland County schools.
