What I value most as a family physician is my relationships with patients. I work with all ages, from infancy to retirement and beyond – sometimes all in the same family. Caring for an entire family is truly an honor, and it gives me the opportunity to work with family members to support one another’s health challenges and goals. By being present with my patients and listening to their stories, I’m able to care for them more wholly and, ultimately, more successfully.

I’ve built my life and work around preventive medicine, nutrition, and mind-body wellness. I believe that a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and nurturing relationships are key ingredients to good health. I try to be a good model for my patients by actively taking care of myself, and I enjoy working with patients to bring positive changes to their own lives. Additionally, for patients seeking a holistic approach, I offer Reiki treatments, a Japanese form of energy work.

I’m originally from San Diego but spent a number of years crisscrossing the country before making Portland my home. For me and my family, Portland is another one of those essential ingredients to good health. Every weekend, we try to avail ourselves of the city’s wonderful parks, farmer’s markets, restaurants, and biking (sometimes all at once).
