Practice philosophy: As a double board-certified physician in both internal medicine and pediatrics, I am deeply passionate about providing compassionate, comprehensive care for individuals across their lifespan. I’m dedicated to supporting patients from childhood through adulthood, with a special focus on those in the LGBTQIA+ community. I believe that healthcare should be inclusive, affirming, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.
What are you passionate about and why? I’m passionate about creating a welcoming space for patients of all ages - whether for preventive care or navigating the complexities of healthcare as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. My goal is to build long-term relationships, guiding patients with the support, respect, and expertise they deserve.
If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? A baker! I love spending time making yummy creations!
What is something you have learned from your patients? Relationships grow at the speed of trust. It takes time, presence, and consistency: it's a true privilege to be trusted with their health and well-being.
What is your personal health goal? Getting outside and moving in all four seasons.
What are you most proud of? I am proud of the time, dedication, and balance it took to become a doctor, a spouse, and a parent.
