Summary

Care Philosophy: My philosophy of care is rooted in health and birth equity, and in social and reproductive justice. These philosophies which have been conceived of by many before me lay the groundwork for my approach of caring for my patients in the context of their individual circumstances and health goals. I feel it is important to recognize that we all have different starting points, assets, and challenges along the way of realizing our health and life goals. This patient-centered, assets focused framework allow me to see each patient holistically and address their needs in a way that I hope leaves them feeling seen, heard, and respected while also addressing their sexual and reproductive health care needs. Personal Interests: I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, pets, taking sunset walks, dancing, and gardening.
