I specialize in the surgical and medical management of patients diagnosed with gynecologic cancers. I perform open, laparoscopic and advanced robotic surgeries. I also administer chemotherapy and other anti-cancer treatments. My research interests include integration of palliative care and quality of life outcome measures. 

I see my patients as an important part of the care team. My goal is to help them understand their diagnosis and create a treatment plan that fits their needs and situation. I care for the whole person—not just their illness—because I believe emotional, spiritual and physical health all work together. I want each patient to feel supported in their own health journey. I also enjoy learning from my patients and hearing their unique stories.

My medical training has brought me to many incredible places in this country, but my roots are on the west coast. A native to San Diego, I find solace in the outdoors and have loved all that Portland has to offer. 

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my spouse, twin boys and golden retriever mix, Archie. You will likely catch us exploring a new hike, bike route or local coffee shop.
