About Cedar Weight Loss

I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with almost 20 years of practice in Primary Care, Urgent Care, and Gastroenterology, based in Olympia, WA. I am dedicated to providing you with personalized care rooted in effective, evidence-based medical strategies. 

Overweight and obesity are a chronic, relapsing medical disease—not a personal failing. These conditions deserve the same serious, ongoing care as others, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. I know that many have faced shame and stigma in traditional healthcare settings, leading them to avoid or dread seeking care. My goal is to offer a non-judgmental, safe and supportive space where you can explore your health goals comfortably. I will partner with you to build a safe, solid, and personalized plan that accounts for your existing medical conditions, medications, and lifestyle.

I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Seattle University in 2007 and hold a specialized certificate from the Obesity Medicine Association (OMA). As a member of both the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and the OMA, I am committed to the highest standard of advanced, evidence-based treatment.

I currently see patients living in Washington State for telehealth appointments.

Please note- you must be in Washington State at the time of your visit.
