Areas of Professional Interest

Growing up in a small town in southwest Washington, my family had a ‘good-old family doctor’ for all our needs. This resonated with me from a young age and I wanted to be able to provide the same whole family, whole person care someday. Now I strive to do just that with particular focus on lifestyle factors—nutrition, exercise, sleep, activities that bring joy. I see my role as a teacher and guide to the medical field and strive to help patients understand their health conditions and resources available to treat them.
