Trinpathic Wellness is the integrative primary care practice I created so I could care for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. I combine traditional evidence-based medicine with lifestyle medicine, health coaching, and integrative tools like Reiki, meditation, mindfulness, and acupuncture to help clients feel better, build lasting healthy habits, and live well for years to come.

Integrative medicine is a whole-person approach to healthcare that combines traditional evidence-based treatments with complementary therapies such as acupuncture, meditation, Reiki, mindfulness, and chiropractic therapies.

Lifestyle medicine is a medical specialty that uses evidence-based lifestyle changes — such as diet, exercise, and stress management — as a primary way to prevent, treat, and potentially reverse chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity.

At Trinpathic Wellness, I utilize both approaches along with traditional medicine to help clients live longer, healthier lives.

Yes. I have an extensive background in primary care and significant experience providing preventive care, non-emergent acute care, chronic disease management, and care coordination when specialist support is needed. In my office, I provide all the same services you’d expect from a primary care provider: physical exams, well-woman exams with Pap smears, sports and camp physicals, sick visits, and ongoing support for chronic conditions along with lifestyle-focused health coaching.

As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, I can see you for many acute and chronic illnesses, including (but not limited to) to following:

• Diabetes and prediabetes

• High blood pressure

• High cholesterol

• Overweight and obesity

• Metabolic health concerns

• Thyroid conditions

• Women’s health concerns

• Anxiety and depression

• Preventive health and cancer screenings

• Chronic disease management

• Lifestyle -related health concerns

• Acute, non-emergent illnesses such as

  • cold/flu

  • UTIs

  • rashes

  • respiratory infections

  • sore throat

  • earaches

  • stomach illnesses

  • minor injuries

My office is not equipped with emergency equipment, so I am unable to see patients for things like chest pain, difficulty breathing, major injuries, severe allergic reactions, signs of a stroke, loss of consciousness, or a mental health crisis. Those conditions and situations are best handled at your nearest Emergency Department. Also, acute asthma attacks, severe illnesses or other concerns that require immediate lab work, x-rays, sutures, or medications should be handled at your nearest urgent care center or emergency department.

I see everyone aged 13 and up at my practice. Some of my patients are generally healthy and want to focus on prevention, healthy aging, and lifestyle changes, while others are managing chronic health conditions or have more complex healthcare needs. Some of my clients see me only for Reiki therapy or health coaching. Wherever you are in your health journey, I meet you there and tailor your care to you.

No, Trinpathic Wellness is a cash-pay, out-of-network practice, which means that I do not handle or process insurance claims, including Medicare/Medicaid. I do this because it allows me to keep my practice small and spend more time with my patients, providing individualized care without being restricted by insurance-based visit structures.

I can provide a superbill at the end of every visit, which you can use to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits. It’s important for you to contact your insurance company if you have questions about this as I do not reach out to your insurance company on your behalf.

My fees can be found on my Services page. Payments are made at the time of the visit.

You can make payments by cash, credit card, personal check, or HSA/FSA card.

As a Family Nurse Practitioner with full prescriptive authority in the state of Virginia, I can reasonably prescribe any medication(s) needed to treat your condition.

At Trinpathic Wellness, I focus on safe, sustainable approaches to health and do not routinely prescribe opioids (such as Percocet, Oxycodone, Vicodin, etc) or benzodiazepines (such as Valium, Xanax, Ativan) for chronic pain, anxiety, or long-term symptoms management. When appropriate, we can discuss evidence-based alternatives and coordinate care with other specialists as needed.

Weight and body composition goals are different for everyone, and they are influenced by many factors beyond diet alone. I believe in providing comprehensive weight-loss care that considers each person’s lifestyle, challenges, and overall health. My goal is to help clients make sustainable, healthy changes rather than relying solely on medication.

My program includes:

• A thorough initial evaluation — I review your health history, medications, weight history, goals, and factors that may be affecting your weight.

• A personalized weight loss plan — an individualized plan based on your health, preferences, goals, and readiness to change.

• Nutrition guidance — practical, realistic strategies for improving food choices, portions, protein and fiber intake, and overall eating patterns.

• Physical activity and movement guidance — I help you safely incorporate movement and build strength and fitness.

• Lifestyle coaching — support with sleep, stress, nutrition, exercise, social connection, and other behaviors that influence weight and metabolic health.

• Medical management — when appropriate, medications like GLP-1 medications may be considered as one tool in your overall treatment plan.

• Ongoing monitoring and follow-up — I track your progress, reviewing responses to treatment, monitor lab values, assess for any medication side effects or concerns, and adjust your plan as needed.

• Long-term maintenance — I provide you with strategies to help you maintain your progress and build sustainable habits rather than relying on short-term efforts.

*Please note that my medical weight loss programs do not include the costs of any medications or associated lab work. I can prescribe both commercially available medications and compounded medications and have discount cards through GoodRx that can be used to make it more affordable. Your health insurance may also cover part or all of medication and labs; it’s best to check with them to find out what is covered.

Yes, for some things I can see you virtually via my HIPAA-compliant patient portal. These types of visits include:

• Common cold/flu-like symptoms

• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

• Minimally complex illnesses

• Anxiety or depression concerns

• Medication refills

• Lab/test results review

I also do all of my health and wellness coaching sessions virtually as well!
