Overview
I care for adults navigating complex or chronic health conditions and understand how overwhelming the hospital experience can be. My goal is to help patients feel supported, heard, and informed as we work together through their unique health care journey. I often tell my patients that our bodies are more like gardens than machines—healing takes time, care, and patience. I strive to create a calm, compassionate environment where people feel safe asking questions and taking an active role in their health. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking with my spouse, baking sourdough bread, cuddling with my cats, and caring for our backyard chickens.
