About me
I grew up in Kentucky and have lived in Texas, Boston and New York before settling down in Colorado. I have energetic twin boys and a delightful daughter who are the light of my life. Ask me to see their photos on my nametag and you will see me grin! Outside of work, I am busy building blocks and Magna-Tiles with my engineering boys, baking cupcakes with my daughter to satisfy her sweet tooth, and planning the next family movie night. I was honored to be recognized as a 5280 Magazine Top Doctor in 2019.
About my practice
I went to medical school because I always wanted to serve patients during difficult, vulnerable times in their lives. I appreciate the value of the individual patient and the teamwork it often takes for a whole family to get their loved one the care he or she needs. Communication and connection with my patients is extremely important to me. I find deep meaning in my work and feel blessed to be able to partner with my patients. I particularly enjoy providing care to breast cancer patients of all ages and focusing on palliative care, helping individuals who are seeking to maximize their quality of life while coping with advanced disease.
How I thrive
My family and I have faced some unusually difficult challenges together, and it has sharpened my focus on the importance of relationships and living in the present moment. I have learned much about the value of empathy, support, connection and cherishing all that I have.
