About me

I am a gastroenterology and internal medicine physician assistant who has practiced for over 15 years. I have worked in cardiothoracic surgery, cardiovascular critical care and various internal medicine specialties.

My approach to patient care emphasizes balancing medication management with nutrition and natural therapies. I believe in incorporating unprocessed foods, daily movement and yoga to improve symptom management and overall health.

I grew up outside of Chicago, Illinois, but I have lived in the Pacific Northwest since 2005. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Physiology from Northern Michigan University before attending the Physician Assistant program at Quinnipiac University, where I obtained my Master of Medical Science degree.

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, commuting to work by bicycle, backpacking, hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. I live in the Portland area with my partner and our cats.

A favorite quote of mine: “Be the change that you wish to see in the world” - Mahatma Gandhi

Insurance

Before scheduling your appointment, we recommend you contact your insurance company to verify that the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is included in your network. Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any copayments, co–insurance, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with OHSU providers, your out of pocket liability may be higher. Visit the billing and insurance section of our site for more information.
