About me

I am a physician associate (PA) who treats patients of all ages through every stage of life. I provide care to infants to older adults for short-term illnesses, long-term care and wellness checks. 

I have a special focus on patients seeking care for:

  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure (hypertension)
  • High cholesterol (hyperlipidemia)
  • Behavioral health

My priority is to listen to my patients and help make plans that prioritize their goals, using evidence-based medicine. I recognize that each patient is an individual and has specific hopes and priorities in their life.

Before becoming a healthcare provider, I worked as a professional filmmaker for many years. That experience taught me the importance of listening closely and understanding the stories people tell about their lives. 

I bring that same approach to patient care, recognizing that storytelling plays an important role in how we communicate about our health, make sense of our experiences, and envision what we want for the future.

When I’m not working, I love spending time outside with my family, particularly running, biking and climbing.

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.
