About me

I am a social worker who supports patients of all ages living with low vision or vision loss. I provide one-on-one support, connect patients and families with helpful community resources, and lead support groups for both adults and children at Casey Eye Institute.

My career has included working in pediatric and hospital settings, where I developed expertise in helping individuals and families navigate complex medical challenges. At Casey Eye Institute, I have the unique opportunity to support both children and adults while expanding programs and resources for people experiencing vision loss.

I believe everyone has a unique story, and my role is to listen, provide support, and help people navigate vision loss in a way that feels empowering and hopeful. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where patients and families feel heard, supported, and understood.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, reading, attending theater performances, and cheering on my favorite Oregon sports teams. I also enjoy volunteering in my community and supporting local student athletics.

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.
