"I am passionate about caring for individuals and families throughout their lives. Through connection and listening, I have come to appreciate that different patients have different needs, challenges, and personal goals. Because of my interest in specialized care for individual needs, I offer a newborn package for expectant families and a house call membership for patients who have challenges getting to the office. I also have special interest in women’s health, mental health, medication assisted treatment, and gender affirming care.
I was immediately drawn to Direct Primary Care (DPC) because it allows doctors to spend more time with patients and less time with insurance concerns. For patients this transparency and access is revolutionary. There are no artificial time limits on visits, no co-pays, and no hidden charges. Through DPC you will have access to me through email, text, video or phone, and same or next day office visits. By limiting the number of patients and removing the problems with insurance-based practice, I can have a more personal relationship with you. Preventive medicine and outstanding chronic disease management can help patients live longer and healthier lives. The relationship with a trusted physician puts change within reach.
After completing medical school at the University of Washington and residency at Valley Medical Center, I spent the last 10 years in practice as a Clinical Director at the Community Health Center of Snohomish County providing full spectrum Family Medicine including Obstetrics. During the last 8 years I have also been Clinical Faculty at the University of Washington in the Department of Family Medicine. I have been recognized as a fellow with the American Academy of Family Medicine for my leadership and ongoing commitment to exceptional primary care, caring for underserved populations, and teaching. I have lived in Seattle for over 25 years. In my free time I can be found laughing with my daughter, losing the battle of the weeds in my garden, and on good days playing in the mountains on foot or skis. I am excited to join the remarkable team at Greenlake Primary Care and offer Direct Primary Care to your family and the community."
