About Me

I am originally from North Dakota, but have spent most of my life in the Beaverton/Portland area. Prior to attending medical school at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), I was trained as a paramedic and had some training in naturopathic medicine.

About my practice

I have been practicing family medicine at Kaiser Permanente since 1998. My practice consists of adolescents and adults of all ages. My primary professional interest is in health promotion. I enjoy working with my patients to maintain and improve their health via diet and lifestyle interventions.

How I thrive

My personal interests are travel, reading and gardening. My strategies to stay well are regular exercise and attention to diet.
