I am a family medicine doctor who treats adolescent and young adult patients, particularly concerning reproductive health concerns, menstrual symptoms and contraception.

Some treatments I offer my patients include IUD and Nexplanon procedures (placement and removal), routine screenings and pap smear testing.

Adolescents and young adults are my favorite people to talk to! I enjoy hearing my patients share their life experiences and viewpoints, and I value their honesty. I appreciate the chance to understand their health concerns and work with them to support their health and well-being.

I worked as a general pediatrician in Seattle for six years, and my experience at the Seattle Public Health Teen Clinic inspired me to specialize in adolescent and young adult medicine. After completing a fellowship at UCSF, I served on the faculty there for eight years. Then, I joined UCLA as a faculty member and became the Director of Adolescent and Young Adult Reproductive Health for another eight years. I am very excited to return to the Pacific Northwest!

When I’m not working, I like to see family and friends, attend orchestra performances, go outside and try to calm our barking dog.
