About me

I am a certified genetic counselor who works with patients and families at risk for inherited cancer predisposition syndromes, also called hereditary cancer syndromes.

I’ve provided genetic counseling with OHSU Knight Cancer Institute and OHSU genetic clinics since 2007. Before receiving my master’s degree in genetic counseling, I worked in a research lab studying gene therapy for inborn errors of metabolism.

When I meet with patients, we discuss:

  • Personal and/or family history of cancer
  • Genetic testing options
  • How genetic test results may impact cancer risk and management recommendations and be informative for family members

If we do testing, we review the result, management recommendations and offer resources for continued support and care.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, particularly camping.

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.
