Accepting new 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 am a maternal-fetal medicine dietician who treats patients with:

  • Preexisting diabetes
  • Gestational diabetes

I help these patients manage their blood sugar before, during and after pregnancy.

I offer my patients a variety of treatments including:

  • Individualized nutrition counseling
  • Medication and insulin management
  • Support with diabetes technology, including continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps

With my background as a registered dietitian and certified diabetes care and education specialist, I bring additional expertise in nutrition and diabetes management to my practice.

My approach to patient care is to help patients create realistic treatment plans that fit their individual needs, preferences and lifestyle while supporting a healthy pregnancy. I believe in giving patients the tools, knowledge and support they need to feel empowered in their care and work toward a healthy pregnancy. I feel fortunate to work closely with patients throughout their pregnancy journey and value the relationships that develop through this continuity of care.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring Portland with my husband and dog, Gus. I particularly enjoy hiking, biking and running.

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.
