"I care for all and meet people where they are in their journeys, it is a privilege to help my patients live their best lives."
Board certified Family Medicine
No limitations
I care for all individuals and meet people where they are in their journeys. My areas of specialty include women, men, and teens; LGBTQ care; and long-term patient care. I love the versatility of my field and the relationships I share with my patients throughout their lives. I chose to practice at Kaiser Permanente because of the opportunity to work in an integrated multispecialty group that practices evidence-based medicine. I appreciate being able to seamlessly collaborate with my colleagues in an effort to offer our patients the best care possible.
I was born in Seattle, Washington, and moved to Tacoma when I was 12. I attended college on the East Coast and medical school in California and returned to Seattle for my medical residency. My husband and I were introduced by an acquaintance who knew we both liked the mountains and being outdoors. We have two beautiful children; they are my greatest accomplishments. My father taught elementary school in the Seattle public schools for almost 30 years, and my mother is a retired family physician. My parents inspired my sister and I to find careers that were meaningful and a way of giving back. I chose family medicine, which is very fulfilling for me. It is a privilege to help my patients live their best lives.
