Not currently accepting patients

No ratings to display.

Why aren't there any ratings?

There is no publicly available rating for this care provider for one of three reasons:

  1. They do not see patients.
  2. They see patients but have not yet received the minimum number of patient experience reviews. To be eligible for display, we require a minimum of 30 surveys. This ensures that the rating is statistically reliable and an accurate reflection of patient experience.
  3. They see patients but do not see enough patients to collect a statistically-reliable patient experience rating.

About me

I’m an acute care nurse practitioner specializing in neurological surgery for adults and older adults.

I provide comprehensive care before and after surgery, helping patients manage conditions such as:

  • Brain tumors
  • Seizure disorders
  • Movement disorders

I believe the best care comes from teamwork—collaborating closely with patients, their families and the entire care team to create a personalized plan that supports each person’s health and recovery.

Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I spent twelve years working in acute and critical care nursing, and I’m excited to have returned to OHSU, where I began my nursing career.

Outside of work, I enjoy coaching youth soccer, gardening, practicing and teaching kendo (Japanese fencing) and spending time with my three kids.

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.
