I’m a family medicine doctor with over 10 years of clinical experience, and I approach care with a deep commitment to relationships and community. Over the course of my career, I’ve practiced full-spectrum family medicine: delivering babies, caring for patients in the hospital, working in the local pediatric clinic, serving as hospice medical director, and seeing patients of all ages in the clinic. These experiences have reinforced my belief that compassionate, continuity-based care can truly make a difference across every stage of life.

I believe healthcare needs to recognize the whole person we are treating — health and the experience of illness are shaped not only by physical processes, but by a person’s history, values and beliefs, relationships, priorities, and the real-life constraints they navigate every day.

My goal is to know my patients as whole people and to build relationships grounded in trust. I strive to meet people where they are, listen carefully, and partner with them in making decisions that feel both realistic and meaningful to their health.

I’m a mom to three active kids. They love the library, riding bikes around the neighborhood, and singing songs at the top of their lungs. You may see them lounging in the office from time to time.

I love time outside- I take long walks several times a week and especially love hiking. Native plants and gardening sustainably keeps me busy at the community garden and in my backyard. Though I love more adventuresome sports like skiing and sailing, my favorite past time of all is a sitting on the couch with kids snuggled up beside me, reading a new book.

My husband Connor and I are a team. We met in medical school and attended residency together in Oregon. A talented family physician, teacher, and medical informaticist, you will see him at times covering the practice. He brings focus, persistence, and a sense of humor to everything he does.
