About me
I am a nurse practitioner who specializes in benign and malignant hematology and oncology. I care for patients with cancer and blood disorders, providing support throughout diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. I work with the oncology team to manage symptoms and treatment side effects while supporting patients’ quality of life.
I believe every patient deserves compassionate, personalized care. I take time to listen, answer questions and help patients and their families understand their diagnosis and treatment options. I am committed to building trusting relationships and helping patients feel informed and supported throughout their care.
My approach is to explain treatment options in a way that is easy to understand, answer questions and help patients make informed decisions that reflect their goals and values. I believe every patient deserves compassionate, personalized care and strive to care for each person as I would want someone to care for my own family.
I bring experience caring for patients across the lifespan, from infants to older adults. My background includes primary and urgent care and pediatric critical care.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially making memories with my child. I also enjoy walking the dogs, swimming, knitting, watching live music and traveling.

Before scheduling an appointment
- 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.
- 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.
