Effective June 1, 2025, UW Medicine’s contracts with Aetna for Medicare Advantage and Commercial services have expired and we are now out of network with Aetna.

Provider Bio

I grew up in Seattle’s Beacon Hill neighborhood. I later ventured to Squamish, BC for college where I studied liberal arts with a focus on public health. After college, I spent several years exploring different career paths, working at a needle exchange and drop-in center for sex workers in Vancouver BC, and later at Planned Parenthood in rural Colorado. These experiences influenced my interest in healthcare and the social determinants of health, leading me to pursue a career in medicine.

I attended the University of Washington School of Medicine at their Spokane campus, where I solidified my passion for family medicine. I’m particularly interested in women's health and obstetrics, addiction, psychiatry, and pediatrics. Above all, I cherish the opportunity to care for patients from all walks of life. Nothing fulfills me more than meeting new people, building relationships, and providing comprehensive care to serve the needs of my community.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy sharing good food with good people, reading, spending quality time with my husband and our two cats, and the many outdoor activities of the Pacific Northwest.
