Bio
My mission is to provide unbiased care to all individuals I encounter in my practice.
It gives me great pleasure to care for individuals in what may be some of the happiest and most vulnerable moments of their lives. I am passionate about getting to know patients and their families as we create partnerships to help them navigate their pregnancy and birth journey. It is my goal to help empower patients to make informed decisions about their pregnancy, health, and birth by providing them with knowledge and guidance.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and children. My hobbies include refinishing furniture and woodworking.
