Lida's passion for nutrition and preventive care grew from her work in weight loss and weight management, where she has spent the past four years helping patients reach their goals and feel their best. As a board-certified family nurse practitioner (FNP-BC), she supports patients with weight management as well as related concerns such as prediabetes, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. She finds it especially rewarding to watch patients gain energy, confidence, and a healthier relationship with food as they progress.

Lida believes everyone deserves care that feels personal and judgment-free. She practices with a collaborative, whole-person approach, helping each patient understand the "why" behind their health and find a path that works for their real life, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

Lida earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Shenandoah University and her Master of Science in Nursing from George Mason University, and is board certified through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).

Outside of work, Lida loves spending time with her family and traveling the world, experiences that have given her a deep appreciation for different cultures, cuisines, and ways of living well.
