About me
I strive to provide my patients with inclusive, respectful, trauma-informed, and body-positive care. I want my patients to feel seen and heard at their appointments with me and to know that I feel privileged to be a part of their care team.
I particularly enjoy working with patients on issues that affect their quality of life, family planning, and sexual health. I work to empower patients to better understand their own body and health. I want to help them choose what feels right for them. Patients often come to me with problems that feel very burdensome and maybe even embarrassing. My goal is for them to leave feeling they are no longer alone in their suffering. Together, we create a plan to put them on the path to feeling more like themselves again.
I love forming long-term relationships with my patients and working together to find the best treatment plan for them. I believe in working toward a world where everyone can enjoy bodily autonomy and access to respectful, evidence-based care.
