Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, three children and basset hound. I enjoy watching movies and live music, reading a good book and making fitness fun with strength training, rowing and yoga.
Care Philosophy
By empowering my patients with knowledge, providing a comfortable space for open dialogue and sharing in decision-making, my patients can make informed decisions about their health. I am thankful I can provide care during some of the most pivotal moments in my patients’ lives.
Area of Interest
I enjoy all aspects of OB-GYN, including contraceptive care; fibroid management; gynecologic and vaginal surgery (including vNOTES); menopause care; sexual health; transgender and gender diverse care; preconception, prenatal, pregnancy, postpartum and infertility care; and vulvar conditions.
