Get to Know Me

I am committed to providing compassionate, thoughtful, and up-to-date care to every patient I have the privilege of treating. I may not always have every answer right away, but I will listen, ask questions, and work alongside you to find an explanation and a path forward.

 

I believe that truly good medicine begins with seeing the person as a whole. Every patient brings a unique story, perspective, and a set of needs, and I strive to provide care that respects and embraces those differences. 

 

My curiosity about the human body- it’s complexity, resilience, and the way it works- is what first drew me to medicine. My love for OB/GYN began in obstetrics, but over the years, that passion has grown into something much broader: a deep commitment to women’s health throughout every stage of life and a determination to be a strong advocate for the women I care for. 

When Not at Work

Probably at a soccer practice/game with my son or letting my imagination take over painting or doing a craft with my daughter. If time remains, I love to exercise, travel, and try new restaurants!
