Clinical Interests
My interests include the intersection of palliative care and addiction medicine; pain management in those with substance use disorder; symptom management in serious illness and at end of life
Care Philosophy
I am a hospitalist and palliative medicine physician with additional experience in addiction medicine. I believe in patient-centered, whole-person care. Each patient deserves to have their story be heard, and deserves care that is oriented toward their goals.
