I am a licensed midwife in clinical practice for 12 years and an MAT provider for 3 years. As a midwife, I have worked in private practice and federally qualified health centers providing quality gynecologic care for all patients no matter what language they speak and regardless of their ability to pay for services. I became certified to prescribe medication for opioid use disorder in 2020 and worked with women struggling with substance use disorders in an outpatient setting for two years and now in private practice. I believe all patients deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
