Clinical Interests
I have a clinical focus on sexual health and dysfunction, and a passion for providing trauma-informed care.

Care Philosophy
I chose Obstetrics and Gynecology because I am passionate about helping patients lead healthy, informed, empowered lives. Throughout each visit with a patient, I have an open and curious mind, warm demeanor, and trauma-informed approach. I create an open, safe and calm space for each patient to tell me their story, share their concerns, and voice their questions. It is a privilege to be invited into each of my patient’s lives, and I honor that privilege by practicing evidence- based medicine, educating my patients about the “why” and the “how” of their bodies, and outlining all available treatment options.

Personal Interests
Outside of the hospital, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two young sons.
