About Stellar Wellness
I became a nurse practitioner because I believed healthcare should feel like a relationship, not a transaction. The complaints from my patients never changed — long waits, rushed visits, billing statements that made no sense. And behind the scenes, I watched providers I respected burn out, not from lack of caring, but from a model that rewarded volume over value, speed over substance.
Then I started seeing something that I couldn’t ignore.
More and more women were coming to me exhausted, emotionally depleted, and “invisible” — struggling with mood changes, weight gain, perimenopause and menopause symptoms that were being dismissed, minimized, or simply missed. Men were quietly losing their drive, their focus, and their edge, with no idea why. They weren’t lazy. They weren’t depressed. Their bodies were changing — and the healthcare system had no real answers for them.
I did something about it.
I pursued advanced training from institutions including Mayo Clinic and Harvard in metabolic health, hormone optimization, and sexual dysfunction. I became certified through the Menopause Society and Biote — because my patients deserved a provider with real expertise, not guesswork. And what happened next changed everything. People started feeling like themselves again — energy, clarity, confidence, and vitality restored. I wasn’t just treating symptoms. I was changing lives.
In my early forties, it became deeply personal.
My own body started shifting in ways I recognized immediately — the fatigue that sleep couldn’t touch, the brain fog interrupting my sharpest moments, the hormonal and metabolic changes I had been helping others navigate for years. I found myself on the other side, and what I discovered was a system that had no real time for me either. That experience didn’t just deepen my empathy — it sharpened my purpose. I am a living testament to this work. What I prescribe, I practice. What I recommend, I live.
In 2024, I founded Stellar Wellness to reclaim what drew me to medicine in the first place — meaningful, trusting relationships built on time, transparency, and transformation.
Not a rushed handshake and a prescription, but a genuine partnership in your health. The practice was built telehealth-first — built for modern professionals and home executives who need flexibility and convenience in Nevada and Utah.
Direct primary care isn’t a luxury. It is a long-term investment in the most valuable thing you own — your health, your vitality, and your quality of life.

Her clinical career began at the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada — Nevada’s only Level I Trauma Center — where over 12 years as a Perioperative Registered Nurse forged the critical thinking and patient advocacy that remain hallmarks of her care today.

my philoshophy
Longevity isn't just about adding years - it's about making those years worth living. I believe quality of life is deeply personal, and there is no one-size-fits-all path to aging well.
Great healthcare begins with truly listening.
Every person deserves unhurried, thoughtful attention — not just a diagnosis, but a partnership. My approach centers on understanding what matters most to you, then building a path forward together toward a longer, fuller life.
My Values
-
Listen
Every visit begins with you. I take the time to truly hear your concerns and learn what matters most. Your words shape your care.
-
Time
Good medicine cannot be rushed. I dedicate unhurried attention to every appointment so you never feel like just a number.
-
Partnership
Your health is a collaboration. Together we set meaningful goals that reflect your life and priorities. You are part of every decision.
-
Whole-Person Care
Health is more than lab results. I look at the full picture — body, mind, and lifestyle — to support you as a whole person.
-
Longevity with Purpose
Living longer is only meaningful when you’re living well. My focus is on enriching your years, not just extending them.
