About me

I am a gynecologist specializing in pediatric and adolescent gynecology.

Pediatric and adolescent gynecology is a unique and deeply rewarding specialty. I have the privilege of caring for patients from infancy all the way through adulthood, and I love the breadth of what that involves, from routine gynecologic care to complex medical and surgical needs.

My specific clinical interests include: 

  • Müllerian anomalies (differences in the structure of the reproductive organs)
  • Hormonal management for adolescents
  • Adnexal cysts
  • Differences of sex development

Whatever brings a patient to my clinic, my goal is always to provide care that feels thorough, personalized and respectful of each individual's experience.

I'm so glad to be back on the West Coast. I grew up in California, and the Pacific Northwest has quickly become a place I'm proud to call home.

Outside of the clinic, you'll find me baking bread, exploring Oregon's beautiful outdoors and spending time with my family, including my two cats.

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.
