I chose to train in Family Medicine because I am passionate about whole patient care. To me, caring for the whole patient ideally includes caring for them throughout their lifespan and caring for their family members as well. Taking care of families is such a privilege and allows a deeper patient-physician connection and trust.

I am currently working in an Internal Medicine practice, so I generally see patients ages 16 and up. Whenever possible, I prefer to take care of entire families.

When you are my patient, I try to ensure that you feel heard at every visit. I strive to partner with my patients and help them journey toward greater health and well-being. I believe strongly in preventative medicine and will always encourage you to stay current on your cancer screening visits. Additionally, I also believe strongly in the importance of overall self-care, and I encourage my patients to unplug as much as possible, exercise regularly, get enough sleep and eat a healthy diet.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling and photography.
