Care Philosophy
I am passionate about Family Medicine and forming lasting relationships with my patients and the community where I practice. I am particularly interested in sports medicine, pediatric care, and chronic disease management. I work to understand my patients' cultural identities and beliefs to ensure respectful care and if desired by the patient, I am happy to offer spiritual healing through prayer. I honor patient preferences and values when discussing treatment options and I always invite patient input and make it a priority in planning their care.
I grew up in Southwest Washington and received my schooling in Southern California at Biola University where I received degrees in Biochemistry and Biblical Studies. I then attended the University of Washington School of Medicine in Spokane for my medical training. My family and I enjoy any way we can get outside including boating, camping, skiing, and hiking with our Golden Retriever.
