About Me

I'm a nurse practitioner with more than 17 years of experience, specializing in hospitalist medicine and adult primary care, with a dedicated focus on LGBTQ+ health. I care for patients in the hospital, as well as those seeking ongoing primary care.

I care deeply about delivering high-quality, compassionate care to people from all walks of life. I embrace and celebrate the diversity of our community, and I’m especially committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive space for LGBTQ+ individuals. It’s essential to me that every person feels safe, respected and supported when receiving care.

Whether you're navigating a hospital stay or looking for a trusted partner in your ongoing health journey, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll work to build a healthier, more empowered future.
