About me

I am a nurse practitioner specializing in the treatment of patients with gynecologic cancers, including ovarian, uterine, cervical, vulvar and vaginal cancers. I see patients on active chemotherapy and other systemic therapies, managing symptoms and side effects, providing post-operative care and supporting survivorship and cancer surveillance. 

My approach to patient care is focused on evidence-based interventions and ethical decision-making. I am passionate about women's health and approach care from a holistic perspective. I am a strong patient advocate, ensuring each patient feels heard and their concerns are addressed thoroughly and appropriately. 

I recently relocated back to the Pacific Northwest after spending eight years in the San Francisco Bay Area. There, my work included oncology clinical research involving PARP inhibitors and other experimental therapeutics. I also earned my Master's Degree in Nursing at the University of California, San Francisco. 

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, spending time on the coast, appreciating the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and savoring the small joys of life with my husband and two young sons.

Insurance

Before scheduling an appointment

  1. Check your network. If you have health insurance,  call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
  2. Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.

If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.
