About me

I provide care as a specialist in OB/GYN problems as well as in normal pregnancies and preventive care for women of all ages. I am committed to helping women make informed decisions about the care that is best for them. I enjoy following a patient through her pregnancy, and meeting women’s gynecological care needs through the course of her life. It is important to get to know the whole person, so I take time to talk with my patients about their lives— their interests, family, and activities—before we focus on any medical issues.

One of the most rewarding things about my job is being able to help patients through challenging situations. This includes working with women to help them fully understand their health condition, the options available to them, and supporting them to find the treatment path that meets their individual preferences. I really appreciate hearing from a patient that I have made the process of seeking care and receiving treatment easier for them.
