Background


Family Nurse
Practitioner

FNP-C  ·  Modern Roots Healthcare, PLLC

I am a Nurse Practitioner based in Kentucky with over seven years of experience in healthcare. I earned my nursing degree from Western Kentucky University and completed my Family Nurse Practitioner degree at Eastern Kentucky University.

I began my nursing career at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, where I developed a deep love for caring for children and the entire family. I also spent time in the emergency department, gaining hands-on experience caring for a wide range of acute conditions.

Throughout my career I have practiced in family medicine, urgent care, and gastroenterology — giving me a well-rounded foundation in caring for patients across all stages of life.

Why Modern Roots


A different kind of
healthcare experience

“I realized that big corporate medicine often feels rushed and disconnected — leaving patients unheard. I knew I wanted to create something different.”

Modern Roots was built with intention — a warm, welcoming, home-like environment where patients receive personalized, high-quality care. My goal is to combine medical expertise with a thoughtful, individualized approach to help each patient feel their best from the inside out.

One

You Are Heard

Every visit is unhurried. I listen to your full story — not just the chief complaint — because real solutions start with being truly heard.

Two

Whole-Person Care

From prevention to functional medicine to aesthetics, every service treats you as a complete person, not just a set of symptoms.

Three

No Insurance Barriers

Cash-pay model means no restrictions on your care. We focus entirely on what is best for you.

Beyond the Clinic


Faith, family,
and meaningful moments

Outside of the clinic, my life is centered around my faith, my family, and creating meaningful memories. I am blessed to be married to my husband Justin and to be a mom to our five children.
