About me

I am a gastroenterology and internal medicine physician assistant who has practiced for over 15 years. I have worked in cardiothoracic surgery, cardiovascular critical care and various internal medicine specialties. I currently see patients at the OHSU Immediate Care Clinic in Richmond.

My approach to patient care emphasizes balancing medication management with nutrition and natural therapies. I believe in incorporating unprocessed foods, daily movement and yoga to improve symptom management and overall health.

I grew up outside of Chicago, Illinois, but I have lived in the Pacific Northwest since 2005. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Physiology from Northern Michigan University before attending the Physician Assistant program at Quinnipiac University, where I obtained my Master of Medical Science degree.

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, commuting to work by bicycle, backpacking, hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. I live in the Portland area with my partner and our cats.

A favorite quote of mine: “Be the change that you wish to see in the world” - Mahatma Gandhi

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. 

Visit our billing and insurance page for more information.
