DNP, APRN, FNP-C · Family Nurse Practitioner
Dani is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with more than a decade of nursing experience across emergency medicine, critical care, hospice, and other acute and community-based settings. Her broad clinical background has prepared her to care for patients across the lifespan in complex, high-acuity, and rapidly changing environments.
An experienced nursing educator, Dani teaches future registered nurses in both classroom and clinical settings. That background shapes her patient-centered approach—emphasizing clear communication, evidence-based decision-making, and helping patients feel informed and confident about their options. Her clinical interests include regenerative medicine, musculoskeletal and joint health, wellness optimization, and emerging wellness therapies.
Outside of work, Dani is a mom of three who enjoys spending time with her children, staying active, being outdoors, and caring for her pets. She values family, humor, and genuine connection, and brings that same approachable nature to how she cares for and educates her patients.

Under Dani's guidance, we're introducing consultations around emerging wellness therapies—including areas such as biologics, peptides, and joint health—as part of an individualized, evidence-informed approach.
Every plan begins with a conversation. During your consultation, we'll discuss your goals, review your options, and help you set realistic expectations so you can make an informed decision about what's right for you.
