I see patients atAbout me
I am a registered dietitian and nutritionist who cares for children, teens and adults with kidney disease, including those who have had or are preparing for a kidney transplant. I specialize in pediatric nephrology and have been part of the care team at Doernbecher since 2021, focusing on pediatric kidney care since 2022.
As part of a multidisciplinary team, I provide medical nutrition therapy to support growth, development and overall health. This includes assessing nutritional needs, identifying concerns and creating personalized nutrition plans that evolve as patients’ needs change.
My approach to care is patient- and family-centered. I value building strong relationships, listening closely and partnering with families to create flexible, supportive care plans. I enjoy following patients through both hospital stays and outpatient care and supporting them through the nutrition changes they may face over time.
Outside of work, I’m a California native who now calls Portland home. I enjoy trying new restaurants with my husband, walking our dogs and spending cozy time with friends and family during Oregon’s rainy months.

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.
