Patient Care Philosophy

As a family physician, I view my relationships with patients as partnerships. It is my job to listen and provide information with respect and compassion and to help my patients make the best decisions for their health. At the same time, I try to be mindful how those decisions will fit into their lives. My interests include pediatric and adolescent health, women's health, gender affirming care, chronic diseases, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, prevention and health maintenance, and health equity.

Why I Work Here

At Seattle Roots, I have the opportunity to serve my community and advocate for change with the hope of improving health care outcomes.

Well Being Philosophy

I enjoy spending time with family and friends.
