Patient Care Philosophy

I believe healthcare should be accessible and affordable for all. I want my patients to feel comfortable when they come to the clinic. And my wish is that my patients be able to live their lives authentically, informed with the knowledge that will help them make healthy choices. I’ve learned that the circumstances of our lives change over time and people deserve to be respected and welcomed always.

Why I Work Here

I do enjoy offering HIV care, sexual healthcare, and gender care services as part of the family practice work I do. At Country Doctor, I feel fortunate to hear the stories my patients share and to get to know them over the years.

Well Being Philosophy

Move around! I try to get outside every day, rowing on Lake Washington or finding a trail with my cattle dog. The best part of my job has to be the sense of family and community I feel at Country Doctor; there is a whole lot of care and compassion going on.
