Overview
I care for women across their reproductive lives and strive to help patients make decisions that are best for them and their families. I am lucky to care for patients from adolescence through menopause and enjoy building relationships with my patients over time. I provide full spectrum obstetrics and gynecology care, and I have expertise in complex contraception, miscarriage care, and the full range of family planning services.
