Clinical Interests
I enjoy caring for a variety of patient conditions including cancer, heart failure, cirrhosis, kidney disease, advanced lung disease, dementia, and any other serious illness.

Care Philosophy
The best medical care is care that aligns with each unique patient's individual values. We do right by our patients by attending to their personhood, hopes, worries, and what matters most. I believe in exploring and supporting all dimensions of impact of living with an illness, not just the physical impact. I believe that every patient deserves excellent, equitable, and compassionate care.
