About Me

Since 2010, I have provided comprehensive obstetric and gynecologic care at Porter Medical Center, serving women throughout Addison County and the surrounding region. I am proud to have developed Porter Obstetrics, Midwifery and Gynecology, a collaborative practice that brings together midwives, OB/GYN physicians, a family medicine physician and a women's health nurse practitioner to deliver full-spectrum women's healthcare. 

Building this integrated, team-based model of care has been a longstanding professional goal and one of my greatest professional accomplishments.

My clinical interests include gynecologic ultrasound, endometriosis, menopause management and preventive well-woman care. I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based care that supports women through every stage of life.

Outside of work, I enjoy mountain biking, swimming, reading, gardening and spending time with my family.

I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based care that supports women through every stage of life.
