Meet Our Provider

Hi, I'm Patricia. I am a Board-Certified Occupational Health Nurse Practitioner Specialist with nearly two decades of high-level clinical experience. More importantly, I am a woman who knows what it means to possess both grace and grit. I am a woman who deeply understands the balance of grace and grit. Life has a way of testing us; I've walked through my own heavy storms and faced the kind of challenges that force you to grow. Those experiences didn't harden me—they taught me how to listen deeper, care more fiercely, and stand firmly in the gap for others.

 

My true passion belongs to the workforce—the everyday people who keep our communities moving—with a profound, lifelong dedication to our nation's Veterans. This mission is deeply personal. My dad was a United States Coast Guard veteran who spent nearly twenty years serving on small boats and cutters. When he entered the Compensation and Pension (C&P) system, the overwhelming, adversarial process broke his spirit. Watching a man of his strength get worn down by the very system that owed him a debt of gratitude changed the trajectory of my life.

 

I promised myself then that I would use my medical training to ensure other Veterans wouldn't have to suffer through those broken processes alone.

 

You shouldn't have to walk into a medical evaluation or a claims process just hoping for the best. You deserve to be fully prepared and protected by the truth. Through True North Medical Services, the specialized Veteran advocacy arm of my practice, I use my 18+ years of occupational health expertise to conduct meticulous medical record reviews. I translate your years of hard work, physical sacrifice, and subsequent health struggles into the precise, undeniable clinical evidence and logic required to get your claims properly recognized and fairly compensated.
