I see patients atAbout me
I am pediatric neuro-oncologist, or, a doctor who treats children with brain and spinal cord tumors.
I specialize in conditions such as:
- Brain and spinal cord tumors
- Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and II
- Schwannomatosis (nerve tumors)
- Other neurocutaneous disorders
I work with patients from infancy, adolescence and young adulthood, and am committed to supporting families through every step of diagnosis, treatment and long-term care.
I’ve dedicated more than 20 years to caring for young people facing complex neurologic and oncologic conditions. These experiences shaped the way I practice today — with deep clinical expertise, thoughtful communication and a focus on providing both exceptional care and genuine hope.
My approach to care extends beyond the medical treatments themselves. I am committed to improving outcomes and quality of life through innovative therapies, clinical research and new approaches to care for brain tumors and tumors associated with neurocutaneous disorders and brain tumors. I believe excellent care means treating the whole child — helping them feel safe, supported and able to thrive emotionally, socially and physically. I’m excited to join OHSU and contribute to expanding research and clinical trials that will make a meaningful difference for families.
Outside of work, my family and I are excited to build our home here on the Pacific Coast. We love exploring Oregon’s hiking trails, spotting whales and spending time outdoors. I also enjoy cooking and welcoming friends and family around our table.

Insurance
Before scheduling an appointment
- 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.
- 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.
