"I chose to become a DO because I identify with the holistic philosophy. I enjoy continuing to learn about how our complicated lives, minds and bodies interact to create dysfunction, and how I can help return a person to balance. Sometimes the benefits are immediate, and sometimes multiple sessions are needed, but OMT is one tool among many I use and am proud to offer. As a doctor of osteopathic medicine, I practice both conventional medicine and OMT and can use both to treat patients of all ages."

"My family and I want a place where we can be part of a community and raise our kids. I grew up in rural Montana and feel most at home in that setting. The area and hospital are very welcoming."
