About me
I grew up in Manitou Springs, Colorado, and love the outdoor opportunities of the area, particularly biking, hiking and gardening. I was inspired to become a physician after a medical mission to Honduras when I was 16.
About my practice
I chose to become a family physician because of the insights one can have into the health of an individual by understanding the dynamics of their family. There is joy in playing a supportive role in a patient’s health and wellness. I listen and seek to understand my patients’ questions and concerns and help them navigate the complex interplay of health and illness. I take time to explain the changes to the body associated with an illness or injury and appreciate seeing how that empowers patients to make difficult choices. I care for a wide range of patients, including young people navigating their path into adulthood, women, veterans and LGBT patients.
How I Thrive
I volunteer with both of my kids in scouting, youth programs and medical missions. I am a solid introvert and love listening to books or relaxing piano music while gardening. I strive to be a good listener and buy into the adage that folks don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.

Referrals to affiliated/contracted physicians/providers in Denver/Boulder

If your CPMG physician decides that you require covered services not available internally from CPMG, he or she will refer you to an affiliated/contracted physician/provider.
You must have a written referral to the affiliated/contracted physician/provider in order for Kaiser Permanente Colorado to cover the services. A referral is a written authorization from Kaiser Permanente for you to receive a covered service from an affiliated/contracted physician/provider.
