Early in her advanced practice career, Nichole worked in an inpatient neurological rehabilitation unit, providing medical management and collaborating closely with multidisciplinary care teams. While this experience helped her build a strong clinical foundation, she discovered that her true calling was in primary care, where she could build long-term relationships and care for patients across the lifespan.

Nichole went on to spend more than a decade in family practice, delivering comprehensive primary care that included preventive services, management of chronic conditions, and in-office procedures. She is known for being a thoughtful listener and a collaborative partner, taking the time to truly understand each patient’s goals and concerns.

Nichole believes healthcare works best as a partnership and looks forward to serving as a trusted, steady member of each patient’s care team.

Originally from Traverse City, Nichole fell in love with West Michigan while attending college and has proudly called it home ever since. Outside of the clinic, life is joyfully busy with her young son. She also enjoys traveling—especially to warm, sunny beach destinations—reading, and getting creative with crafty projects whenever she finds a little spare time.
